"What is the cause of the mourning (Zechariah 12:10)? It is well according to him who
explains that the cause is the slaying of Messiah, the son of Joseph, as it is written, 'And
they shall look upon me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one
mourneth for his only son.'"
[Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 52a]
