Was Zechariah 12:10 Recognized by the Jews as Messianic?

That this prophecy refers to the Messiah was admitted by the rabbis.(109:199) For example, this prophecy “is applied to the Messiah the Son of Joseph in the Talmud (Sukk.52a) and so is verse 12,...”(47:737)

Thus some Jewish interpreters, trying to avoid the clear implication of the words, have attempted to apply this passage to the “other” Messiah who would suffer, Messiah Ben Joseph.

“...the later interpreters explaining it of Messiah Ben Joseph, or the suffering Messiah, whom they invented to meet the passages of Scripture that speak so clearly of this characteristic of the promised Redeemer. But as they believed that this Messiah son of Joseph was a mere man, the difficulty met them that Jehovah declared `they shall look on ME whom they have pierced;’ so that if it refers to the Messiah he cannot be a mere man, but must be divine.”(109:199-200)
