Isaiah 53:10-11 NIV

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:11

Isaiah 53:11. He shall see of the travail, &c.— "In consideration of what he suffered, he shall afterwards see all his enemies put under his feet; and by his law and his grace he shall reform the world, and prepare them who will believingly receive the benefits of his death for a total and eternal absolution and discharge from the punishment of their sins." Instead of by his knowledge, we may read, by the knowledge of him. Knowledge may be taken here objectively, as the knowledge which he... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 53:10

The apparent miscarriage of justice just described (Isaiah 53:9) would not be what it would appear to be. It would be the deliberate act of Yahweh. It would please Yahweh to crush His Servant and to put Him to grief. The Father did not find the sufferings and death of His Son something pleasurable (or enjoyable) to behold, but they pleased (satisfied) Him because they fulfilled His great purpose of providing redemption for humankind."The faithful God of the Bible would certainly not visit bad... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 53:11

After His sacrificial work had ended, the Servant would look back on it with satisfaction, as would Yahweh (cf. 1 John 2:2). The "many" would obtain justification through the knowledge of Him and His work. The "many" is a distinct group, numerous but not all-inclusive, namely: believers. No other work is required but believing what one comes to know, namely: to rely on Him and His work. It is possible that Isaiah meant that the Servant alone would possess knowledge regarding what God required... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 53:10

(10) Yet it pleased the Lord . . .—The sufferings of the Servant are referred not to chance or fate, or even the wickedness of his persecutors, but to the absolute “good-pleasure” of the Father, manifesting itself in its fullest measure in the hour of apparent failure. (Comp. Psalms 22:15.)When thou shalt make . . .—Better, if his soul shall make a trespass offering, he will see his seed; he will prolong his days . . .

(11) He shall see of the travail . . .—Better, On account of the travail of his soul, he shall see, and be refreshed. We may find the truest explanation in the words, “To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). The refreshment after travail, because of the travail, was already present to the sufferer’s consciousness.By his knowledge . . .—The phrase admits of two meanings, objective and subjective: (1) by their knowledge of Him; or (2) by His own knowledge; and each expresses a... read more
