The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 53:5

Isaiah 53:5But He was wounded for our transgressionsThe sufferings of ChristThree things suggest themselves as requiring explanation to one who seriously contemplates the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ.1. An innocent man suffers. 2. The death of Jesus is the apparent defeat and destruction of one who possessed extraordinary and supernatural powers. 3. This apparent defeat and ruin, instead of hindering the progress of His work, became at once, and in all the history of the progress of His... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 53:6

Isaiah 53:6All we like sheep have gone astrayAstray from the foldI.The first part of my text is AN INDICTMENT. “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Says some one, “Can’t you drop the first word?” And some one rises and looks off and says, “There is a man who is a blasphemer, he is astray. Yonder is a man who is impure, he is astray. Yonder is a man who is fraudulent, he is astray.” Look at home, for the first word of the text takes you and me as well as the rest. 1.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 53:4

Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Ver. 4. Surely he hath borne our griefs. ] He took our infirmities natural, though not sinful; or, He suffered for our offences. And his satis sufficient passion is our satisfaction, as Luther phraseth it. He suffered, saith Peter, "the just for the unjust." He "bore our sins in his own body on the tree." 1Pe 2:24 He, the true scape goat, "taketh away the sins of... read more

Isa 53:5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Ver. 5. But he was wounded for our transgressions. ] Not for his own; for he "knew no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth"; nevertheless he took upon him whatsoever was penal that belonged to sin, that we might go free. He was content to be in the winepress that we might be in the wine cellar. He was bruised for... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 53:6

Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Ver. 6. All we, like sheep, have gone astray. ] Gone of our own accords, as "longing to wander"; Jer 14:10 to wander as sheep, lost sheep, than the which no creature is more apt to stray, and less able to return. "The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib. "The very swine accustomed to the trough, if he go abroad, yet at night will find the... read more
