Isaiah 53:4 KJV

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

5CHAPTER XXTHE SUFFERING SERVANTIsaiah 52:13-15; Isaiah 53:1-12WE are now arrived at the last of the passages on the Servant of the Lord. It is known to Christendom as the Fifty-third of Isaiah, but its verses have, unfortunately, been divided between two chapters, Isaiah 52:13-15; Isaiah 53:1-12. Before we attempt the interpretation of this high and solemn passage of Revelation, let us look at its position in our prophecy, and examine its structure.The peculiarities of the style and of the... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 53:4

53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried {f} our sorrows: yet we did esteem him {g} stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.(f) That is, the punishment due to our sins, for which he has both suffered and made satisfaction, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24 .(g) We judge evil, thinking that he was punished for his own sins, and not for ours. 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 53:4

Nothing can be more decisive than what this verse contains of the causes and ends of Christ's sufferings and death. They were wholly as the surety and representative of his people; nor can anything be more satisfactory to the confirmation of the faith of the believer, than when we do esteem the Lord Jesus in this gracious character, as stricken and smitten of God, as the sinner's surety. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:4

Sorrows. Healing them by his own afflictions, Matthew viii. 15. Sickness is an effect of sin, which Jesus came to destroy, 1 Peter ii. 24 --- Leper, who was bound to have his face covered, ver. 3., and Leviticus xiii. 45. --- God. Payva (Def. Trin. iv.) assures us that many Jews were converted by the perusal of this chapter, and particularly of this verse, which may be rendered "as a God wounded and afflicted." (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:4-9

4-9 In these verses is an account of the sufferings of Christ; also of the design of his sufferings. It was for our sins, and in our stead, that our Lord Jesus suffered. We have all sinned, and have come short of the glory of God. Sinners have their beloved sin, their own evil way, of which they are fond. Our sins deserve all griefs and sorrows, even the most severe. We are saved from the ruin, to which by sin we become liable, by laying our sins on Christ. This atonement was to be made for our... read more

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
