Isaiah 53

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 53:12

53:12 Therefore I will divide to him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because {r} he hath poured out his soul to death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin {s} of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.(r) Because he humbled himself, therefore he will be extolled to glory, Philippians 2:7-12 .(s) That is, of all that believe in him. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

THE MESSIAH REVEALED The thirty-two chapters deal particularly with the Person and work of the Messiah. Isaiah has sometimes been called the evangelical prophet because of the large space he gives to that subject a circumstance the more notable because of the silence concerning it since Moses. The explanation of this silence is hinted at in the lesson on the introduction to the prophets. In chapter 49, the Messiah speaks of Himself and the failure of His mission in His rejection by His... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 53:1-12

The Predicted Saviour Isaiah 53:0 We must be very careful how we allot the prophecies of Scripture and distribute the treasures of divine wisdom. It is comparatively easy to find intermediate occasions and personalities to whom we may confide these ineffable treasures, privileges, and honours. But we must have some regard to pro portion, to fitness, and to the spiritual poetry of the occasion. No man known to history, but one, can carry this chapter in all its verses and lines and particles.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:1

CONTENTS This may very well be called the Chapter of Chapters, concerning the Lord Jesus Christ; in which the two great features of his character are drawn to the full: the sufferings of Christ; and the glory that should follow. The Prophet, under the Holy Ghost, most blessedly sets forth the Lord Jesus, under both. Isaiah 53:1 The Gospel of Christ is a report, and full of glad tidings of good things; yet so very generally is it despised and scorned, that the question is here put, who hath... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:2

Reader! do mark the prominent features, which the Holy Ghost here gives, of your Redeemer: then turn to the original, as he appears in the Evangelists, and compare the striking likeness. How did Jesus appear when he was born in the streets of Bethlehem? Was there ever a more tender, a more exposed plan? And, do remark, that this growing up is said to have been before Jehovah. And as his obscure birth hath nothing attracting in it, so neither had his person: a root dry; a form of no comeliness.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:3

As his person was without attraction, so the treatment he received corresponded to it. So very ungracious was the general abuse and contempt of him, that he said himself, I am a worm, and no man; a very scorn of men, and the outcast of the people; Psalms 22:6 . And they who should have countenanced him, blushed to own him for a time, and hid their faces from him. W hat a subject of wonder and astonishment is all this! read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:4

Nothing can be more decisive than what this verse contains of the causes and ends of Christ's sufferings and death. They were wholly as the surety and representative of his people; nor can anything be more satisfactory to the confirmation of the faith of the believer, than when we do esteem the Lord Jesus in this gracious character, as stricken and smitten of God, as the sinner's surety. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:5-6

It is most blessed and delightful, everlastingly to view Jesus, in all he did and wrought, as the sinner's surety. Christ is never to be looked at, or regarded as a private person, but as the public head of his redeemed; and to endear this view of Christ still more, it is blessed to trace the hand of God the Father in all that concerns redemption. Did Jesus bear my sins in his own body on the tree? Then he did it, that I might be made the righteousness of God in him. And it was God the Father,... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:7-9

Who that attends to these words, and beholds Jesus led forth to crucifixion can hesitate to apply them to the person of Christ, and to him only? Had Isaiah seen him led to Calvary; had he been pre sent to witness the taunts and reproaches of the multitude; had he heard all that passed before Pontius Pilate, and seen the events which followed; surely it were impossible that he could have then described the person and character of the Lord Jesus more fully than he hath here done. The expression... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:10-12

This pleasure of Jehovah, at the sufferings and bruises of Jesus, opens a sweet and consolatory thought to the faithful! So very great and important, in the sight of God the Father, are the bruises which Jesus received for his Church, that in the blessings of redemption, consequent upon them, the Lord Jehovah took delight to behold them, knowing that by his stripes we are healed. Not all the blood of beasts, on a thousand altars; neither all the services of angels and men, through endless... read more
