Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 53:12

53:12 Therefore I will divide to him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because {r} he hath poured out his soul to death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin {s} of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.(r) Because he humbled himself, therefore he will be extolled to glory, Philippians 2:7-12 .(s) That is, of all that believe in him. 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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:10-12

This pleasure of Jehovah, at the sufferings and bruises of Jesus, opens a sweet and consolatory thought to the faithful! So very great and important, in the sight of God the Father, are the bruises which Jesus received for his Church, that in the blessings of redemption, consequent upon them, the Lord Jehovah took delight to behold them, knowing that by his stripes we are healed. Not all the blood of beasts, on a thousand altars; neither all the services of angels and men, through endless... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 53:12

REFLECTIONS MY soul! ponder well this blessed, this glorious, this divine chapter; and do not dismiss it, until the Lord hath both taught thee the many gracious things contained in it, and brought home all that is said of Jesus to thine own experience and joy. And when dismissing it from thy present review, dismiss it but for a short season, and let thy frequent return to it, in solemn meditation, testify how very precious every part and portion of it is in thy esteem. Behold here, my soul, thy... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:12

Many. Even to the ends of the earth, Psalm ii. 8. --- Strong. Demons, Jews, &c. Hebrew, "with the strong" apostles. --- Wicked thieves. Barabbas, &c. --- Transgressors. His executioners. The gospel could not speak plainer. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

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

Paul E. Kretzmann

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

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 53:12

Isaiah THE SUFFERING SERVANT-VI Isa_53:12 . The first clause of this verse is somewhat difficult. There are two ways of understanding it. One is that adopted in A. V., according to which the suffering Servant is represented as equal to the greatest conquerors. He is to be as gloriously successful in His victory as they have been in theirs. But there are two very strong objections to this rendering-first, that it takes ‘the many’ in the sense of mighty , thus obscuring the identity of the... read more
