bar-a-ki'-a (Barachias; the King James Version Barachias;Mt 23:35): Father of Zachariah who was murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. It is possible that reference is made to Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada (2Ch 24:20ff), whom Matthew by mistake calls "Z., the son of Barachiah."Lu 11:51omits the name of the father of Z. (compare Zahn's Kommentar, 649, note).
