Isaiah 53:10-12 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:8-10

The shortness but sufficiency of human life. "Who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living." "He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days." Here is a paradox in connection with our Master which finds a close correspondence in another connected with ourselves. I. THE BREVITY AND PERPETUITY OF OUR LORD 'S CAREER . It was indeed true, as the prophet foresaw, that "he was cut off," etc.; his days were few; his ministry was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him (see the comment on Isaiah 53:6 , ad fin. ) . The sufferings of Christ, proceeding from the "determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God" ( Acts 2:23 ), and being permitted by him; were in some sort his doing. It "pleased him," moreover, that they should be undergone, for he saw with satisfaction the Son's self-sacrifice, and he witnessed with joy man's redemption and deliverance effected thereby. He hath put him to grief; rather, he dealt... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:10

A soul-offering. This prepares us to see that the real sacrifice for sin, which our Redeemer offered, was the full surrender of his will , his self , to God, which found expression, for us to apprehend it, in his bodily sufferings on the cross (see Hosea 9:14 ). I. SIN IS A SOUL - THING . It is not an act; it is a man acting. II. PENALTY IS A SOUL - THING . "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." III. SALVATION IS A SOUL - THING . Christ bore the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:11

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied ; rather, because of the travail of his soul he shall see , and be satisfied (comp. Philippians 2:7-11 , "He made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a Name which is above every... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:11

Satisfied for sore travail. When the sufferings of our Lord are spoken of in Scripture, they are usually connected with his exaltation and glory. "When they testified of the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow;" "It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God;" "Ought not Messias to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? For the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour! A witness of the sufferings of Christ,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:12

Therefore (see the comment on Isaiah 53:11 , sub init. ) . Will I divide him a portion with the great ; i.e. "I will place him among the great conquering ones of the earth"—an accommodation to human modes of thought analogous to the frequent comparison of Christ's kingdom with the kingdoms of the earth ( Daniel 2:44 ; Daniel 7:9-14 . etc.). The apostle goes deeper into the true nature of things when he says, "Therefore also hath God highly exalted him, and given him a Name... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:12

The false accusation. "He was numbered with the transgressors." The fact that he who was the Author of all law and the Judge of all moral agents was himself classed with transgressors is most suggestive; it calls our attention to the truth— I. THAT A RIGHTEOUS MAN , though he is righteous , MAY BE CHARGED WITH WRONG . If Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, was accused of sin, how much more may we, who are only comparatively and imperfectly righteous, be so charged! ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him - In this verse, the prediction respecting the final glory and triumph of the Messiah commences. The design of the whole prophecy is to state, that in consequence of his great sufferings, he would be exalted to the highest honor (see the notes at Isaiah 52:13). The sense of this verse is, ‘he was subjected to these sufferings, not on account of any sins of his, but because, under the circumstances of the case, his sufferings would be pleasing to Yahweh. He... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 53:11

He shall see of the travail of his soul - This is the language of Yahweh, who is again introduced as speaking. The sense is, he shall see the fruit, or the result of his sufferings, and shall be satisfied. He shall see so much good resulting from his great sorrows; so much happiness, and so many saved, that the benefit shall be an ample compensation for all that he endured. The word rendered here ‘travail’ (עמל ‛âmâl), denotes properly labor, toil; wearisome labor; labor and toil which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 53:12

Therefore will I divide him - I will divide for him (לו lô). This verse is designed to predict the triumphs of the Messiah. It is language appropriate to him as a prince, and designed to celebrate his glorious victories on earth. The words here used are taken from the custom of distributing the spoils of victory after a battle, and the idea is, that as a conqueror takes valuable spoils, so the Messiah would go forth to the spiritual conquest of the world, and subdue it to himself.
