This phrase is from Daniel 7:13, which is about the Messiah’s enthronement over all the nations after God’s judgment.
“Who they have pierced”—
This phrase is from Zechariah 12:10, which speaks of God’s judgment over all nations after they rejected God and his messenger.
The two passages were also used together in Matthew 24:30. Daniel 7:13 is also used in reference to Jesus in Mark 13:26 and 14:62. The fact that it is all the nations of the earth who rejected Jesus and not just Israel is emphasized here.
