Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 53:6

(6) All we like sheep have gone astray . . .—The confession of repentant Israel (Psalms 119:176), of repentant humanity (1 Peter 2:25), was also the thought present to the mind of the Servant, as in Matthew 9:36; John 10:11.Hath laid on him.—Better, as in the margin, hath made to light on him. The words express the fact, but do not explain the mystery, of the substitutive satisfaction. The two sides of that mystery are stated in the form of a seeming paradox. God does not punish the righteous... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 53:1-12

The Offence of the Cross Isaiah 53:3 Galatians 5:11 Around the Cross a certain romantic interest has gathered, but what the Cross really stands for is an offence, a stumbling-block and a scandal to men. The Prophet Isaiah, with his piercing vision, saw the truth. In his prophecy of Christ he tells us that men shall see no beauty in Him that they should desire Him. The offence of the Cross has not yet ceased. Why? I. The Cross of Christ is the condemnation of the world. It was the condemnation... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

5CHAPTER XXTHE SUFFERING SERVANTIsaiah 52:13-15; Isaiah 53:1-12WE are now arrived at the last of the passages on the Servant of the Lord. It is known to Christendom as the Fifty-third of Isaiah, but its verses have, unfortunately, been divided between two chapters, Isaiah 52:13-15; Isaiah 53:1-12. Before we attempt the interpretation of this high and solemn passage of Revelation, let us look at its position in our prophecy, and examine its structure.The peculiarities of the style and of the... read more

CHAPTER 53 The Sinbearer and His Victory 1. The marred visage and His exaltation (Isaiah 52:13-15 ) 2. His life and His rejection by the nation (Isaiah 53:1-3 ) 3.

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 53:4

53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried {f} our sorrows: yet we did esteem him {g} stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.(f) That is, the punishment due to our sins, for which he has both suffered and made satisfaction, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24 .(g) We judge evil, thinking that he was punished for his own sins, and not for ours. 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

Robert Hawker

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
