Perceptions: Jesus misquoted the prophets

Important question: "Why doesn't Jesus himself know his own scripture, if he's "G-d" [sic] and he spoke it?!?

In this example, let's take Matthew (Christian Bible) 23:35, which says:

"...that there may come upon you all the righteous blood spilled on earth, to the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zecheriah son of Berachiah whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the alter."
(Matthew 23:35)

Now, was there a Zecheriah son of Berachiah?

"In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of HaShem came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet..."
(Zecheriah 1:1)

Ok, so far so good. But now it comes time to grade his paper...!

And the spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, Thus said God, Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has also forsaken you. And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord."
(2 Chronicals 24:20-21)

Jesus confused the son of the priest with the prophet???

So maybe Jesus should have payed more attention in class.
