Isaiah 53:7-10 BSB

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:10-12

10-12 Come, and see how Christ loved us! We could not put him in our stead, but he put himself. Thus he took away the sin of the world, by taking it on himself. He made himself subject to death, which to us is the wages of sin. Observe the graces and glories of his state of exaltation. Christ will not commit the care of his family to any other. God's purposes shall take effect. And whatever is undertaken according to God's pleasure shall prosper. He shall see it accomplished in the conversion... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Isaiah 53:10-13

Isa_53:10 Isa_55:13 Thus far this great prophecy of the sufferings and death of the humbled Servant of the Lord has dealt with them mainly from the human and visible side: it now proceeds to deeper things, outside the range of human sight. Verses Isa 53.10-53.12 predict what Jehovah Himself wrought, and what He will yet accomplish by means of it. The holy Servant was to endure bruising and grief, and even have His very soul made an offering for sin: and all this at the hands of Jehovah. What... 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 53:7-9

Isaiah THE SUFFERING SERVANT-III. Isa_53:7 - Isa_53:9 In this section of the prophecy we pass from contemplating the sufferings inflicted on the Servant to the attitude of Himself and of His contemporaries towards these, His patience and their blindness. To these is added a remarkable reference to His burial, which strikes one at first sight as interrupting the continuity of the prophecy, but on fuller consideration assumes great significance. I. The unresisting endurance of the Servant.... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 53:10

Isaiah THE SUFFERING SERVANT-IV Isa_53:10 . We have seen a distinct progress of thought in the preceding verses. There was first the outline of the sorrows and rejection of the Servant; second, the profound explanation of these as being for us; third, the sufferings, death and burial of the Servant. We have followed Him to the grave. What more can there be to be said? Whether the Servant of the Lord be an individual or a collective or an ideal, surely all fitness of metaphor, all reality of... read more

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

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 53:1-12

We begin our reading here because the last three verses of chapter 52 so evidently belong to chapter 53. In this section the prophet describes the completion and issue of the suffering of the Servant of God. He is first seen as exalted and lifted up, and this exaltation is put into contrast with the day of humiliation ( Isa 52:13-15 ). A description of the pathway of suffering ( Isa 53:1-9 ) follows. First, the rejected ministry: the Messenger is despised, and His report is not believed.... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

The Substitution of the Saviour A Study of Isaiah 53:1-12 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The fifty-third chapter of Isaiah is called the Great Calvary Chapter. The chapter, however, goes back of Calvary describing both the childhood and ministry of Christ. Then in the conclusion of its message, Isaiah fifty-three passes beyond Calvary, setting forth the wonderful future when Christ's soul shall be satisfied. 1. The query of the opening verse. Before the Prophet leads to the discussion of the Cross... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:7-8

‘He was oppressed, yet he humbled himself, And did not open his mouth, As a lamb who is led to the slaughter, And as a sheep which before her shearers is dumb, Yes, he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away, And as for his generation, Who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living. For the transgression of my people was he stricken.’ A fuller explanation is now given of how the Servant would suffer. Not only would He face the woes of... read more
