They will look on the one they pierced
The Old Testament
Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
Zechariah 12:10

A soldier thrusts a spear into Jesus' side. Remarkable in the Hebrew, and still visible in the King James: God speaks of 'me' who was pierced, and then of 'him'. Christians read in this a hint that God himself is present in the pierced Messiah.
