What does Jesus mean by 'will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered'?
There are two things you need to see about this Scripture. First Jesus was referring to His disciples at the time of His Crucifixion. The "Shepherd (Jesus) is arrested and crucified and all His disciples (Sheep) desert Him. The flock is scattered.
In Zechariah 13:7 we have the prophecy of this time of Jesus' crucifixion, and that was fulfilled. But then it goes on further in 13:8-9 and explains that at the time of the Great tribulation and Jesus Christ's Second Coming, two thirds of the Jewish population will be destroyed and only one third will be saved. That one third is the remnant and they will call or believe on Jesus Christ as their Messiah.
God will say, "This is my people", and each one of them will say, "The LORD is my God." At this time Israel will be restored to covenant relationship to God.

What is symbolic of Jesus in the Book of Zechariah?
Some see a reference to Jesus in Zechariah 13:7, "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones." They say that when Zechariah spoke of a shepherd, he was really speaking of Jesus, although Jesus is not mentioned by name, nor otherwise identified. Here, then, the shepherd is regarded by many Christians as symbolic of Jesus.
