Matthew 23:35 names him as father of the Zacharias murdered between the temple and the altar. The wording fits Zechariah the priest stoned in the temple court under King Joash.

Who this is

Barachias is named in Matthew 23:35 as the father of the Zacharias whom Jesus says was murdered between the temple and the altar. The wording most closely matches Zechariah the priest stoned in the temple court under King Joash, whose father was actually named Jehoiada (2 Chronicles 24:20-22), so some see this as an added or confused patronymic, possibly conflating him with the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah (Zechariah 1:1).
