Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 53:1

53:1 Who {a} hath believed our report? and to whom is the {b} arm of the LORD revealed?(a) The prophet shows that very few will receive their preaching from Christ, and from their deliverance by him, John 12:38, Romans 10:16 .(b) Meaning, that no one can believe but whose hearts God touches with the virtue of his Holy Spirit. read more

James Gray

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

Joseph Parker

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1

Revealed. Who could have believed such things? The apostles complain how few were converted, John xii. 38., and Romans x. 16. (Calmet) --- These would not submit, though the gospel was not against reason. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:1-3

1-3 No where in all the Old Testament is it so plainly and fully prophesied, that Christ ought to suffer, and then to enter into his glory, as in this chapter. But to this day few discern, or will acknowledge, that Divine power which goes with the word. The authentic and most important report of salvation for sinners, through the Son of God, is disregarded. The low condition he submitted to, and his appearance in the world, were not agreeable to the ideas the Jews had formed of the Messiah. It... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 53:1-12

v. 1. Who hath believed our report? Who puts faith in that which he hears from us, the messengers of the Lord? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? The evangelist of the Old Testament, in an ineffably sad strain, deplores the natural lack of interest in the great central message of salvation. The report is indeed made, it goes forth and may be heard, but the arm of the Lord, in the revelation of the mighty power of His grace, is hidden from the great majority of men. The way of... read more

2. THE LOWLINESS OF THE SERVANT AS THE LAMB THAT BEARS THE PEOPLE’S SINIsaiah 53:1-71 Who hath believed our1 2report?And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?2 For 3he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,And as a root out of a dry ground:He hath no form nor comeliness; and when 4we shall see him,There is no beauty that we should desire him.3 5He is despised and rejected of men;A man of sorrows, and 6acquainted with grief:And7 8we hid as it were our faces from him;He... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 53:1

Isaiah THE ARM OF THE LORD Isa_53:1 . In the second Isaiah there are numerous references to ‘the arm of the Lord.’ It is a natural symbol of the active energy of Jehovah, and is analogous to the other symbol of ‘the Face of Jehovah,’ which is also found in this book, in so far as it emphasises the notion of power in manifestation, though ‘the Face’ has a wider range and may be explained as equivalent to that part of the divine Nature which is turned to men. The latter symbol will then be... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

the Rejected and Suffering Redeemer Isaiah 53:1-12 The common lot of man may be summed up in three words: suffering, sin, and death. Our Lord, the Divine Servant, presents a notable exception to the rest of the race-not in His sufferings, Isaiah 53:3 ; not in His death, for He died many deaths in one, Isaiah 53:9 , r.v. margin, but in His perfect innocence and goodness. His sufferings were due to sins not His own, Romans 5:8 . We must make His soul our guilt offering, Isaiah 53:10 , r.v.... read more
