Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:1
This remarkable chapter contains the beginning of what is called "The Third Servant Song," although the word "servant" does not appear in it. Isaiah 42:1-4; Isaiah 49:1-6; and Isaiah 52:13-53:12, are reckoned as the three, along with what is written here. "The first two songs emphasized the Servant's mission; the third one, however, treats of his obedience, and of his steadfast endurance under persecution. Because of the song's description of the growing hostility toward the Servant, North... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:4
"The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he waketh morning by morning, he waketh mine ear to hear as they that are taught."This explains the supernatural wisdom of Jesus Christ. The Father from above supernaturally endowed him with intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom beyond everything ever known by mere mortal men. Many of God's prophets received revelations from God, but only of Messiah was it declared that... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:5
"The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward."There is great solemnity of the sacred language. Note that the double name of Jehovah ([~'Adonay] [~Yahweh]) appears four times in Isaiah 50:4,5,7,9. The mission to which Christ was called involved the ultimate in hardship, rejection, hatred, persecution, torture and death; but unlike many prophets before Christ, our Lord was not rebellious, as was Jonah; he did not complain, as did Jeremiah; nor did... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:6
"I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting."Luke 18:31,32 records Jesus' quotation of things mentioned in this verse, declaring that all these things would be accomplished unto the Son of Man; and the gospels faithfully relate how practically all of the things mentioned here were actually done unto Jesus. Cheyne pointed out that plucking the hair off the cheeks is not specifically reported in the gospels as... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:7
"For the Lord Jehovah will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame."Cheyne compared Jesus and Job, noting that, "Whereas Job, the type of a righteous man, shrinks in terror from the issue (of terrible suffering), the Servant, human and yet superhuman in nature, has no doubt as to a favorable result."[12] He set his face like a flint to do God's will. Luke, especially, was impressed with this trait in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:8
"He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand up together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me."The one who was near to Jesus and who would surely justify him was God the Father. He justified Jesus when he raised him from the dead. "By the resurrection, God acquitted Christ of the charge of blasphemy upon which he had been condemned, and by that resurrection proclaimed him to be, `holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners.'"[13] (See Hebrews 7:26). read more
