以赛亚书 53:1-3 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-3

The prophet, in the close of the former chapter, had foreseen and foretold the kind reception which the gospel of Christ should find among the Gentiles, that nations and their kings should bid it welcome, that those who had not seen him should believe in him; and though they had not any prophecies among them of gospel grace, which might raise their expectations, and dispose them to entertain it, yet upon the first notice of it they should give it its due weight and consideration. Now here he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1

Who hath believed our report ?.... Or "hearing" F1 לשמעתנו , τη ακοη ημων , Sept.; "auditui nostro", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Cocceius. . Not what we hear, but others hear from us; the doctrine of the Gospel, which is a report of the love, grace, and mercy of God in Christ; of Christ himself, his person, offices, obedience, sufferings, and death, and of free and full salvation by him: it is a good report, a true and faithful one, and to be believed, and yet there are always but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:2

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant ,.... Which springs out of the earth without notice; low in its beginning, slow in its growth, liable to be crushed with the foot, or destroyed with the frost, and no great probability of its coming to any perfection; or rather as a little "sucker", as the word F2 כיונק ως παιδιον , Sept.; ως θηλαζον , Theodotion, vox a ינק , "lac sugere, proprie lactantem significat", Rivet. Sanctius, "surculus tener, veluti laetens", Forerius. ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:3

He is despised, and rejected of men ,.... Or, "ceaseth from men" F6 חדל אישים "desiit viris", Montanus, Heb.; "desitus virorum", Piscator; "deficiens virorum", Cocceius; "destitutus viris", Vitringa. ; was not admitted into the company and conversation of men, especially of figure; or ceased from the class of men, in the opinion of others; he was not reckoned among men, was accounted a worm, and no man; or, if a man, yet not in his senses, a madman, nay, one that had a devil: or... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:1

Who hath believed our report? - The report of the prophets, of John the Baptist, and Christ's own report of himself. The Jews did not receive the report, and for this reason he was not manifested to them as the promised Messiah. 'He came unto his own, but his own received him not.' Before the Father he grew up as a tender plant: but to the Jews he was as a root out of a dry ground. 'He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.' read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:2

For he shall grow up - Supposes something to have preceded; as it might be asked, what or who shall 'grow up before him,' etc. As the translation now stands, no correct answer can be given to this question. The translation then is wrong, the connection broken, and the sense obscured. זרוע zeroa , translated the arm, from the root zara. To sow, or plant; also seed, etc. The limb which reaches from the shoulder to the hand, called the arm; or more properly beginning at the shoulder... read more

Acquainted with grief - For וידוע vidua , familiar with grief, eight MSS. and one edition have וירע veyada , and knowing grief; the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate read it ויודע veyodea . We hid as it were our faces from him "As one that hideth his face from us" - For וכמסתר uchemaster , four MSS. (two ancient) have וכמסתיר uchemastir , one MS. ומסתיר umastir . For פנים panim , two MSS. have פניו panaiu ; so likewise the Septuagint and Vulgate. Mourners... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:1

Who hath believed? Isaiah felt that he spoke, mainly, to unbelieving ears (see above, Isaiah 28:9-15 ; Isaiah 29:10-15 ; Isaiah 30:9-11 ; Isaiah 42:23 , etc.). The unbelief was likely to be intensified when so marvellous a prophecy was delivered as that which he was now commissioned to put forth. Still, of course, there is rhetorical exaggeration in the question, which seems to imply that no one would believe. Our report; literally, that which has been heard by us. But the word is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:1

Strange reception of Divine messages. Cheyne translates, "Who believed that which we heard? and the arm of Jehovah, unto whom did it become manifest?" Immediate reference is to the attitude of the people towards Isaiah's assurances of God's restoring mercies, and towards his call to prepare themselves for returning to their own land. Further and fuller reference is to the failure of Messiah to win the general acceptance of the people, to whom he brought the glad tidings of God's "so great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

The Messianic interpretation of the chapter was universally acknowledged by the Jews until the time of Aben Ezra. It was also assumed as indisputable by the Christian Fathers. Almost all Christian expositors down to the commencement of the nineteenth century took the same view. It was only under the pressure of the Christian controversy that the later Jews abandoned the traditional interpretation, and applied the prophecy In the present century a certain number of Christian commentators... read more
