Isaiah 53:7-11 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 53:4-9

In these verses we have, I. A further account of the sufferings of Christ. Much was said before, but more is said here, of the very low condition to which he abased and humbled himself, to which he became obedient even to the death of the cross. 1. He had griefs and sorrows; being acquainted with them, he kept up the acquaintance, and did not grow shy, no, not of such melancholy acquaintance. Were griefs and sorrows allotted him? He bore them, and blamed not his lot; he carried them, and did... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 53:10-12

In the foregoing verses the prophet had testified very particularly of the sufferings of Christ, yet mixing some hints of the happy issue of them; here he again mentions his sufferings, but largely foretels the glory that should follow. We may observe, in these verses, I. The services and sufferings of Christ's state of humiliation. Come, and see how he loved us, see what he did for us. 1. He submitted to the frowns of Heaven (Isa. 53:10): Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him, to put him to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:7

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted ,.... He was injuriously treated by the Jews; they used him very ill, and handled him very roughly; he was oppressed and afflicted, both in body and mind, with their blows, and with their reproaches; he was afflicted, indeed, both by God and men: or rather it may be rendered, "it was exacted", required, and demanded, "and he answered" F21 נגש והוא נענה "exigebatur, et ipse respondit", Gataker; "exigitur poena, et ipse affligitur", Junius &... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:8

He was taken from prison, and from judgment ,.... After he had suffered and died, and made satisfaction to divine justice; or after he had been arrested by the justice of God, and was laid in prison, and under a sentence of condemnation, had judgment passed upon him, and that executed too; he was taken in a very little time from the prison of the grave where he lay, and from the state of condemnation into which he was brought, and was acquitted, justified, and declared righteous, and his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:9

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death ,.... These words are generally supposed to refer to a fact that was afterwards done; that Christ, who died with wicked men, as if he himself had been one, was buried in a rich man's grave. Could the words admit of the following transposition, they would exactly agree with it, "and he made his grave with the rich; and with the wicked in his death"; for he died between two thieves, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joseph... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him ,.... The sufferings of Christ are signified by his being "bruised"; See Gill on Isaiah 53:5 , and as it was foretold he should have his heel bruised by the serpent, Genesis 3:15 , but here it is ascribed to the Lord: he was bruised in body, when buffeted and scourged, and nailed to the cross; and was bruised and broken in spirit, when the sins of his people were laid on him, and the wrath of God came upon him for them: the Lord had a hand in his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:11

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied ,.... "The travail of his soul" is the toil and labour he endured, in working out the salvation of his people; his obedience and death, his sorrows and sufferings; particularly those birth throes of his soul, under a sense of divine wrath, for the allusion is to women in travail; and all the agonies and pains of death which he went through. Now the fruit of all this he sees with inexpressible pleasure, and which gives him an... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:8

And who shall declare his generation "And his manner of life who would declare" - A learned friend has communicated to me the following passages from the Mishna, and the Gemara of Babylon, as leading to a satisfactory explication of this difficult place. It is said in the former, that before any one was punished for a capital crime, proclamation was made before the prisoner by the public crier, in these words: עליו וילמד יבא זכות לו שיודע מי כל col mi shioda lo zachoth yabo vayilmad alaiv... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:9

With the rich in his death "With the rich man was his tomb" - It may be necessary to introduce Bishop Lowth's translation of this verse before we come to his very satisfactory criticisms: - And his grave was appointed with the wicked; But with the rich man was his tomb: Although he had done no wrong, Neither was there any guile in his mouth. Among the various opinions which have been given on this passage, I have no doubt in giving my assent to that which makes the ב beth in ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:10

To grief "With affliction" - For החלי hecheli , the verb, the construction of which seems to be hard and inelegant in this place, the Vulgate reads בחלי bocholi , in infirmitate, "with infirmity." When thou shalt make his soul "If his soul shall make" - For תשים tasim , a MS. has תשם tasem , which may be taken passively, "If his soul shall be made" agreeably to some copies of the Septuagint, which have δωται See likewise the Syriac. When thou shalt make his soul an... read more
