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.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:12

‘Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great (or ‘the many’), And he will divide the spoil with the strong, Because he has poured out his soul to death, And was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.’ And because of what He has achieved He will come alive again and be given the spoils of victory. The intention here is in order to stress that He will now no longer be the humiliated teacher, but the Mighty God (Isaiah... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 53:12

Therefore will I, God the Father, the Spectator and Judge of the action or combat, divide him; give him his share; or, impart or give to him; for this word is oft used without respect to any distribution or division, as Deuteronomy 4:19; Deuteronomy 29:26, and elsewhere. A portion; which is very commodiously supplied out of the next clause, where a word which answers to it, the spoil, is expressed. With the great; or, among the great; such as the great and mighty potentates of the world use to... read more

THE GREAT MESSIANIC PROPHECYIsaiah 53:2-12. For He shall grow up before Him, &c.Among the prophecies of Isaiah, that which is contained in the chapter before us stands eminent and illustrious.
