Significance: Change from LXX past tense to future tense prophetically spotlights Jesus' cross-death. Jesus fulfills pattern of righteous sufferer zealous for God but persecuted. Disciples recognize Jesus in terms of Psalm 69 (quoted again in 15:25; alluded to in 19:28). Jesus shares psalmist's alienation even from own brothers (7:1-9; cf. Ps 69:8). Jesus' zeal extends beyond temple to comprehensive concern for Jewish nation—renewing, replacing, fulfilling festival/institution symbolism.
