Isaiah 53:7-9 NIV

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

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

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

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:2-11

The sufferings of Jesus. It is the great object of Isaiah, in this chapter, to declare to his countrymen I. THE MESSIAH A SUFFERING MESSIAH . Hitherto Isaiah had looked upon the promised Redeemer on the side of his glories and his triumphs. His names were to be "Immanuel," or "God with us" ( Isaiah 7:14 ), "Wonderful," "Counsellor," "The Mighty God," "The Everlasting Father," "The Prince of Peace" ( Isaiah 9:6 ). "Of the increase of his government and peace there was to be no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:7

He was oppressed . As Israel under the Egyptian taskmasters ( Exodus 3:7 ). The cruel ill usage in the high priest's house, and before Herod is, perhaps, specially pointed at. He was afflicted ; rather, he abased himself (comp. Isaiah 31:4 and Exodus 10:3 ). The position of the emphatic pronoun ( hu ') be tween the first participle and the second detaches the second clause from the first and conjoins it with the third. Otherwise the rendering of the Authorized Version might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:7

The submissive spirit. Those who have a high appreciation of the more minute scriptural correspondences will naturally find a reference here to the fact recorded in Matthew 27:14 . But we prefer to dwell on the submissiveness rather than the silence of our Lord, on the inward spirit rather than the outward incident. I. THE SUBMISSIVENESS OF OUR SAVIOUR 'S SPIRIT . The unspoken word of repining or reproach was of real value, because, in him, it indicated the unquestioning... read more
