Isaiah 53:6-7 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:7

He was oppressed . As Israel under the Egyptian taskmasters ( Exodus 3:7 ). The cruel ill usage in the high priest's house, and before Herod is, perhaps, specially pointed at. He was afflicted ; rather, he abased himself (comp. Isaiah 31:4 and Exodus 10:3 ). The position of the emphatic pronoun ( hu ') be tween the first participle and the second detaches the second clause from the first and conjoins it with the third. Otherwise the rendering of the Authorized Version might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:7

The submissive spirit. Those who have a high appreciation of the more minute scriptural correspondences will naturally find a reference here to the fact recorded in Matthew 27:14 . But we prefer to dwell on the submissiveness rather than the silence of our Lord, on the inward spirit rather than the outward incident. I. THE SUBMISSIVENESS OF OUR SAVIOUR 'S SPIRIT . The unspoken word of repining or reproach was of real value, because, in him, it indicated the unquestioning... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:7

The triumph of silence. "Opened not his mouth." A careful study of the fivefold examinations of our Lord, before Annas, before the Sanhedrin, before Pilate, before Herod, and before Pilate again, will bring very impressively to view the remarkable silences of our Lord. Sometimes he spoke, never more than brief sentences. But sometimes no word could be drawn from him, and the silence was either convincing or aggravating. It was, however, always the sign that our Lord had supreme command... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:7-12

Patience and the Divine purpose. In the picture of the Servant of Jehovah we have an exemplification of the force of quiet endurance which prevails over violence, even to victory. I. AN EXAMPLE OF SUBMISSION TO WRONG . The slave-driver ( Exodus 3:7 ; Job 3:18 ), or the exactor of a tax or a debt ( Deuteronomy 15:2 , Deuteronomy 15:3 ; 2 Kings 23:35 ), is the image of oppression in its urgency and its contumely· And the silence of the suffering One eloquently... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 53:6

All we, like sheep, have gone astray - This is the penitent confession of those for whom he suffered. It is an acknowledgment that they were going astray from God; and the reason why the Redeemer suffered was, that the race had wandered away, and that Yahweh had laid on him the iniquity of all. Calvin says, ‘In order that he might more deeply impress on the minds of people the benefits derived from the death of Christ, he shows how necessary was that healing of which he had just made mention.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 53:7

He was oppressed - (נגשׂ niggas'). Lowth renders this, ‘It was exacted.’ Hengstenberg, ‘He was abased.’ Jerome (the Vulgate), ‘He was offered because he was willing.’ The Septuagint ‘He, on account of his affliction, opened not his mouth,’ implying that his silence arose from the extremity of his sorrows. The Chaldee renders it, ‘He prayed, and he was heard, and before he opened his mouth he was accepted.’ The Syriac, ‘He came and humbled himself, neither did he open his mouth.’ Kimchi supposes... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 53:6

Isaiah 53:6. All we All mankind; like sheep Which are exceedingly apt to go astray, and lose themselves; have gone astray From God, and from the way of truth and duty; of wisdom, piety, and virtue; of holiness and happiness. We have turned every one to his own way In general, to the way of sin, which may well be called a man’s own way, because sin is natural to us, inherent in us, born with us; and, in particular, to those several paths which several men choose, according to their... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 53:7

Isaiah 53:7. He was oppressed By the intolerable weight of his sufferings, and he was afflicted By the most pungent pain and sorrow. Or, as the Hebrew נגשׁ הוא נענה , is rendered by Bishop Lowth and others, It was exacted, and he answered, or, was made answerable. God’s justice required satisfaction from us for our sins, which, alas! we were incapable of making, and he answered the demand; that is, became our surety, or undertook to pay our debt, or suffer the penalty of the law in... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

The servant’s suffering and glory (52:13-53:12)Just as people were startled at the sight of the servant’s great sufferings, so will they be startled at the sight of his great glory. They will be struck dumb, as it were, as they witness a sight more glorious than they or anyone else could ever have imagined (13-15).Many people find it hard to believe that God will give his servant such power and magnificence, because when they look at the servant they see just an ordinary person of insignificant... read more
