Isaiah 53

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 53:10

THE FIFTH STANZA"Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53

CHAP. LIII. The prophet, complaining of incredulity, excuseth the scandal of the cross, by the benefit of Christ's passion, and the good success thereof. Before Christ 719. THE scene of this second section is to be placed at the beginning of the oeconomy of grace, when, after the foundations of the kingdom of God, and of the word of faith, were laid, with all power and demonstration of the Spirit, an invincible incredulity discovered itself in the greater part of the Jewish nation; and it is so... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:1

Isaiah 53:1. Who hath believed our report?— "Who, of the Jews, when the Messiah comes, will believe our report concerning him? Even they before whom the arm of the Lord, the virtue and power of God, is witnessed in his miracles." The Targum on Isa 53:8 has it, "Who can declare the miracles which shall be done in his days?" St. John (xii. 38.) understands miracles by the arm of the Lord. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:2-3

Isaiah 53:2-3. For he shall grow up, &c.— But he groweth up before him, as a tender shoot, and as a branch out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness, that we should gaze upon him, and no beauty, &c. "Would you hear the cause of so great unbelief? It is this. Though he shall come before Israel, as the promised tender shoot, as the root and branch of Jesse's stock, (chap. Isaiah 11:1; Isaiah 11:10. Jeremiah 23:3.) yet, not appearing in the form of a tall, leafy, flourishing... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:5

Isaiah 53:5. But he was wounded, &c.— "But he shall be wounded to death for our transgressions, he shall be bruised to death (see Isaiah 53:10.) for our iniquities: the punishment which we deserve shall be laid on him, for our peace and benefit; and by his stripes we shall be healed." The word מדכא meduka, rendered bruised, signifies to destroy. See Job 5:4 and so the noun in Psalms 90:3. Thus Christ's body is said to be broken, 1Co 11:24 or to be delivered to death. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:6

Isaiah 53:6. All we like sheep, &c.— "In this sense he is the Saviour: for otherwise none of us, without him, could be saved. We are all sinners, and are gone out of the way of God's laws; and as such, are unable, by any deed or suffering of ours, to claim or deserve God's pardon. And therefore God lays upon him the punishment of the sins of the whole world, who, having never offended, is the fitter to propitiate his wrath." We may render the last clause, And the Lord hath heaped together... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:7

Isaiah 53:7. He was oppressed, &c.— It was exacted, and he engaged for, or, and he answered it, and opened not his mouth, &c. Or, The debt was demanded, &c. Chandler: who remarks, that thus the learned L'Empereur renders the word נגשׂ niggas, as we also do in ch. Isaiah 58:3. "God insisted on an adequate punishment for maintaining the honour of his laws, which was impaired by so general a defection; and this person, of whom I have been speaking, is made the sacrifice. And in all his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:8

Isaiah 53:8. He was taken from prison, &c.— "And yet the indignities of his sufferings were enough to shock his patience, especially their taking away his life, under colour of law and justice, and a fair trial. Who that saw him in these sad circumstances, so evil treated by them, would have supposed him to be the promised Messiah, whom the Jews had so impatiently expected, of David's line, when they saw him cut off out of the land of the living, by those whom he came to save? For I cannot... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:9

Isaiah 53:9. And he made his grave, &c.— And he committed his burial to the wicked, and to the rich his death, &c. Or, And his burial was appointed with the wicked; but he was with the rich in his death, &c. Or, And he [the people] made his grave with the wicked, but it shall be with the rich after his death; because, &c. Chandler. "His sepulchre shall be a proof of his innocence, as well as of his death. The people, to carry their contempt of him even to the grave, designed to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:10

Isaiah 53:10. Yet it pleased the Lord, &c.— "However, it pleased God that he should suffer, though God had another view in it than his murderers, even the salvation of mankind." Bishop Chandler reads, If he shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, which shall prolong their days, &c. The Vulgate, says he, renders it, videbit semen longaevum, in agreement with the LXX. and Chaldee. The Targum, supposing seed to be the nominative to the verb see, translates, His seed... read more
