CHAPTER 53

. MAN'S
UNBELIEF: MESSIAH'S
VICARIOUS SUFFERINGS,
AND FINAL TRIUMPH
FOR MAN.
The speaker, according to HORSLEY,
personates the repenting Jews in the latter ages of the world coming
over to the faith of the Redeemer; the whole is their penitent
confession. This view suits the context (), which is not to be fully realized until Israel is
restored. However, primarily, it is the abrupt exclamation of the
prophet: "Who hath believed our report," that of Isaiah and
the other prophets, as to Messiah? The infidel's objection from the
unbelief of the Jews is anticipated and hereby answered: that
unbelief and the cause of it (Messiah's humiliation, whereas *they*
looked for One coming to reign) were foreseen and foretold.

**1. report**—literally, "the
thing heard," referring to which sense Paul says, "So,
then, faith cometh by *hearing*" ([Romans 10:16](../../../kjv/romans/10/16);
[Romans 10:17](../../../kjv/romans/10/17)).
**arm**—power ([Romans 10:17](../../../kjv/romans/10/17)); exercised in miracles and in *saving* men ([Romans 1:16](../../../kjv/romans/1/16);
[1 Corinthians 1:18](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/1/18)). The prophet, as if
present during Messiah's ministry on earth, is deeply moved to see
*how few believed* on Him ([Isaiah 49:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/49/4);
[Mark 6:6](../../../kjv/mark/6/6); [Mark 9:19](../../../kjv/mark/9/19);
[Acts 1:15](../../../kjv/acts/1/15)). *Two* reasons are
given why all *ought* to have believed: (1) The "report"
of the "ancient prophets." (2) "The arm of Jehovah"
exhibited in Messiah while on earth. In HORSLEY'S
view, this will be the penitent confession of the Jews, "How few
of our nation, in Messiah's days, believed in Him!"

**2. tender plant**—Messiah grew
silently and insensibly, as a sucker from an ancient stock, seemingly
dead (namely, the house of David, then in a decayed state) (see on
[Isaiah 53:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/1)).
**shall grow . . . hath**—rather,
"grew up . . . had."
**before him**—before
Jehovah. Though unknown to the world ([Isaiah 53:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/1)), Messiah was observed *by God,* who ordered the most
minute circumstances attending His growth.
**root**—that is, sprout
from a root.
**form**—beautiful form:
sorrow had marred His once beautiful form.
**and when we shall see**—rather,
joined with the previous words, "Nor comeliness (attractiveness)
*that we should look* (with delight) on Him."
**there is**—rather, "was."
The studied reticence of the New Testament as to His form, stature,
color, c., was designed to prevent our dwelling on the bodily, rather
than on His moral beauty, holiness, love, &c., also a
providential protest against the making and veneration of images of
Him. The letter of P. LENTULUS
to the emperor Tiberius, describing His person, is spurious so also
the story of His sending His portrait to Abgar, king of Edessa; and
the alleged impression of His countenance on the handkerchief of
Veronica. The former part of this verse refers to His birth and
childhood; the latter to His first public appearance [VITRINGA].

**3. rejected**—"*forsaken*
of men" [GESENIUS].
"Most abject of men." Literally, "He who *ceases*
from men," that is, is no longer regarded as a man
[HENGSTENBERG]. (See on
[Isaiah 53:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/5); [Isaiah 53:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/5)).
**man of sorrows**—that is,
whose distinguishing characteristic was sorrows.
**acquainted with**—familiar
by constant contact with.
**grief**—literally,
"disease"; figuratively for all kinds of *calamity*
([Jeremiah 6:14](../../../kjv/jeremiah/6/14)); *leprosy*
especially represented this, being a direct judgment from God. It is
remarkable Jesus is not mentioned as having ever suffered under
sickness.
**and we hid . . .
faces**—rather, *as one* who *causes* men *to hide*
their faces from Him (in aversion) [MAURER].
Or, "He was as an hiding of the face before it," that is,
as a thing before which a man covers his face in disgust
[HENGSTENBERG]. Or, "as
one before whom is the covering of the face"; before whom one
covers the face in disgust [GESENIUS].
**we**—the prophet
identifying himself with the Jews. See HORSLEY'S
view (see on [Isaiah 53:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/5)).
**esteemed . . . not**—*negative*
contempt; the previous words express *positive.*

**4. Surely . . . our
griefs**—literally, "*But yet* He hath *taken* (or
*borne*) our *sicknesses,*" that is, they who despised
Him because of His human infirmities ought rather to have esteemed
Him on account of them; for thereby "Himself *took* OUR
*infirmities*" (bodily diseases). So quotes it. In the *Hebrew* for "borne," or
*took,* there is probably the double notion, He *took on
Himself* vicariously (so [Isaiah 53:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/5);
[Isaiah 53:6](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/6); [Isaiah 53:8](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/8);
[Isaiah 53:12](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/12)), and so He *took
away;* His perfect humanity whereby He was bodily afflicted *for
us,* and *in all our afflictions* ([Isaiah 63:9](../../../kjv/isaiah/63/9);
[Hebrews 4:15](../../../kjv/hebrews/4/15)) was the ground on which
He cured the sick; so that Matthew's quotation is not a mere
*accommodation.* See Note 42 of ARCHBISHOP
MAGEE, *Atonement.*
The *Hebrew* there may mean to *overwhelm with darkness;*
Messiah's time of darkness was temporary ([Hebrews 4:15](../../../kjv/hebrews/4/15)), answering to the *bruising of His heel;* Satan's is
to be eternal, answering to the *bruising of his head* (compare
[Isaiah 50:10](../../../kjv/isaiah/50/10)).
**carried . . . sorrows**—The
notion of *substitution* strictly. "Carried," namely,
as a burden. "Sorrows," that is, pains of the *mind;*
as "griefs" refer to pains of the *body* ([Psalms 32:10](../../../kjv/psalms/32/10);
[Psalms 38:17](../../../kjv/psalms/38/17)). [Psalms 38:17](../../../kjv/psalms/38/17) might seem to oppose this: "And bare our *sicknesses.*"
But he uses "sicknesses" figuratively for *sins,* the
cause of them. Christ took on Himself all man's "infirmities;"
so as to remove them; the bodily by direct miracle, grounded on His
participation in human infirmities; those of the soul by His
vicarious suffering, which did away with the *source* of both.
Sin and sickness are ethically connected as cause and effect ([Isaiah 33:24](../../../kjv/isaiah/33/24);
[Psalms 103:3](../../../kjv/psalms/103/3); [Matthew 9:2](../../../kjv/matthew/9/2);
[John 5:14](../../../kjv/john/5/14); [James 5:15](../../../kjv/james/5/15)).
**we did esteem him
stricken**—judicially [LOWTH],
namely, for *His* sins; whereas it was for *ours.* "We
thought Him to be a leper" [JEROME,
*Vulgate*], leprosy being the direct divine judgment for guilt
([Leviticus 13:1-59](../../../kjv/leviticus/13/1-59); [Numbers 12:10](../../../kjv/numbers/12/10);
[Numbers 12:15](../../../kjv/numbers/12/15); [2 Chronicles 26:18-21](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/18-21)).
**smitten**—by divine
judgments.
**afflicted**—for His sins;
this was the pointin which they so erred ([Luke 23:34](../../../kjv/luke/23/34);
[Acts 3:17](../../../kjv/acts/3/17); [1 Corinthians 2:8](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/2/8)).
He was, it is true, "afflicted," but not for *His*
sins.

**5. wounded**—a bodily wound; not
mere mental sorrow; literally, "pierced"; minutely
appropriate to Messiah, whose hands, feet, and side were pierced (). The *Margin,* wrongly, from a *Hebrew* root,
translates, "tormented."
**for . . . for**— ([Romans 4:25](../../../kjv/romans/4/25);
[2 Corinthians 5:21](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/5/21); [Hebrews 9:28](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/28);
[1 Peter 2:24](../../../kjv/1-peter/2/24); [1 Peter 3:18](../../../kjv/1-peter/3/18))
—*the cause for which* He suffered not His own, but *our*
sins.
**bruised**—crushing inward
and outward suffering (see on [1 Peter 3:18](../../../kjv/1-peter/3/18)).
**chastisement**—literally,
the correction inflicted by a *parent on children* for their
good ([Hebrews 12:5-8](../../../kjv/hebrews/12/5-8); [Hebrews 12:10](../../../kjv/hebrews/12/10);
[Hebrews 12:11](../../../kjv/hebrews/12/11)). Not *punishment*
strictly; for this can have place only where there is guilt, which He
had not; but He took *on Himself the chastisement whereby the peace*
(reconciliation with our Father; [Romans 5:1](../../../kjv/romans/5/1);
[Ephesians 2:14](../../../kjv/ephesians/2/14); [Ephesians 2:15](../../../kjv/ephesians/2/15);
[Ephesians 2:17](../../../kjv/ephesians/2/17)) *of the children of
God was to be effected* ([Ephesians 2:17](../../../kjv/ephesians/2/17)).
**upon him**—as a burden;
parallel to "hath borne" and "carried."
**stripes**—minutely
prophetical of His being *scourged* ([Matthew 27:26](../../../kjv/matthew/27/26);
[1 Peter 2:24](../../../kjv/1-peter/2/24)).
**healed**—spiritually
([Psalms 41:4](../../../kjv/psalms/41/4); [Jeremiah 8:22](../../../kjv/jeremiah/8/22)).

**6.** Penitent confession of
believers and of Israel in the last days ().
**sheep . . . astray**—
([Psalms 119:176](../../../kjv/psalms/119/176); [1 Peter 2:25](../../../kjv/1-peter/2/25)).
The antithesis is, "In ourselves we were scattered; in Christ we
are collected together; by nature we wander, driven headlong to
destruction; in Christ we find the way to the gate of life"
[CALVIN]. True, also,
literally of Israel before its coming restoration ([Ezekiel 34:5](../../../kjv/ezekiel/34/5);
[Ezekiel 34:6](../../../kjv/ezekiel/34/6); [Zechariah 10:2](../../../kjv/zechariah/10/2);
[Zechariah 10:6](../../../kjv/zechariah/10/6); compare with [Ezekiel 34:23](../../../kjv/ezekiel/34/23);
[Ezekiel 34:24](../../../kjv/ezekiel/34/24); [Jeremiah 23:4](../../../kjv/jeremiah/23/4);
[Jeremiah 23:5](../../../kjv/jeremiah/23/5); also [Jeremiah 23:5](../../../kjv/jeremiah/23/5)).
**laid**—"*hath made
to light* on Him" [LOWTH].
Rather, "hath made to rush upon Him" [MAURER].
**the iniquity**—that is,
its *penalty;* or rather, as in [Jeremiah 23:5](../../../kjv/jeremiah/23/5); He was not merely a *sin offering* (which would
destroy the antithesis to "righteousness"), but "sin
for us"; sin itself vicariously; the representative of *the
aggregate sin* of all mankind; not *sins* in the *plural,*
for the "sin" of the world is *one* ([Romans 5:16](../../../kjv/romans/5/16);
[Romans 5:17](../../../kjv/romans/5/17)); thus we are made not
merely *righteous,* but *righteousness,* even "the
righteousness *of God.*" The innocent was punished *as if*
guilty, that the guilty might be rewarded *as if* innocent. This
verse could be said of no mere *martyr.*

**7. oppressed**—LOWTH
translates, "It was *exacted,* and He was made answerable."
The verb means, "to have payment of a debt sternly exacted"
([Deuteronomy 15:2](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/15/2); [Deuteronomy 15:3](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/15/3)),
and so *to be oppressed* in general; the *exaction* of the
full penalty for our sins in His sufferings is probably alluded to.
**and . . . afflicted**—or,
*and yet He suffered,* or *bore Himself patiently,* c.
[HENGSTENBERG and MAURER].
LOWTH'S translation, "He
was made answerable," is hardly admitted by the *Hebrew.*
**opened not . . . mouth**—
[Jeremiah 11:19](../../../kjv/jeremiah/11/19) and David in [Psalms 38:13](../../../kjv/psalms/38/13);
[Psalms 38:14](../../../kjv/psalms/38/14); [Psalms 39:9](../../../kjv/psalms/39/9),
prefiguring Messiah ([Matthew 26:63](../../../kjv/matthew/26/63);
[Matthew 27:12](../../../kjv/matthew/27/12); [Matthew 27:14](../../../kjv/matthew/27/14);
[1 Peter 2:23](../../../kjv/1-peter/2/23)).

**8.** Rather, "He was taken
away (that is, cut off) by oppression and by a judicial sentence";
a hendiadys for, "by an oppressive judicial sentence"
[LOWTH and HENGSTENBERG].
GESENIUS not so well, "He
was delivered from oppression and punishment" only by death.
*English Version* also translates, "from . . . from,"
not "by . . . by." But "prison" is not true of
Jesus, who was not *incarcerated;* restraint and *bonds*
([John 18:24](../../../kjv/john/18/24)) more accord with
the *Hebrew.* [Acts 8:33](../../../kjv/acts/8/33);
translate as the *Septuagint:* "In His humiliation His
judgment (legal trial) was taken away"; the virtual sense of the
*Hebrew* as rendered by LOWTH
and sanctioned by the inspired writer of Acts; He was treated as one
so mean that a fair trial was denied Him ([Matthew 26:59](../../../kjv/matthew/26/59);
[Mark 14:55-59](../../../kjv/mark/14/55-59)). HORSLEY
translates, "After condemnation and judgment He was *accepted.*"
**who . . . declare . . .
generation**—who can set forth (the wickedness of) His
generation? that is, of His contemporaries [ALFORD
on [Acts 8:33](../../../kjv/acts/8/33)], which suits best
the parallelism, "the wickedness of His generation"
corresponding to "oppressive judgment." But LUTHER,
"His length of life," that is, there shall be *no end of
His future days* ([Isaiah 53:10](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/10);
[Romans 6:9](../../../kjv/romans/6/9)). CALVIN
includes *the days of His Church,* which is inseparable from
Himself. HENGSTENBERG,
"His posterity." He, indeed, shall be cut off, but His *race*
shall be so numerous that none can fully declare it. CHYRSOSTOM,
c., "His eternal sonship and miraculous incarnation."
**cut off**—implying a
*violent death* ([Daniel 9:26](../../../kjv/daniel/9/26)).
**my people**—Isaiah,
including himself among them by the word "my"
[HENGSTENBERG]. Rather,
JEHOVAH speaks in the
person of His prophet, "*My* people," by the election
of grace ([Hebrews 2:13](../../../kjv/hebrews/2/13)).
**was he stricken**—*Hebrew,*
"the stroke (was laid) upon Him." GESENIUS
says the *Hebrew* means "them" the collective body,
whether of the prophets or people, to which the Jews refer the whole
prophecy. But JEROME, the
*Syriac,* and *Ethiopiac* versions translate it "Him";
so it is singular in some passages; [Hebrews 2:13](../../../kjv/hebrews/2/13), *His;* [Job 27:23](../../../kjv/job/27/23),
*Him;* [Isaiah 44:15](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/15),
*thereto.* The *Septuagint,* the *Hebrew, lamo,* "upon
Him," read the similar words, *lamuth,* "unto death,"
which would at once set aside the Jewish interpretation, "upon
*them.*" ORIGEN,
who laboriously compared the *Hebrew* with the *Septuagint,*
so read it, and urged it against the Jews of his day, who would have
denied it to be the true reading if the word had not then really so
stood in the *Hebrew* text [LOWTH].
If his sole authority be thought insufficient, perhaps *lamo*
may imply that Messiah was the *representative of the collective
body of all men;* hence the equivocal *plural-singular* form.

**9.** Rather, "His grave was
appointed," or "they appointed Him His grave"
[HENGSTENBERG]; that is,
they *intended* (by crucifying Him with two thieves, ) that He should have His grave "with the wicked."
Compare [John 19:31](../../../kjv/john/19/31), the denial
of honorable burial being accounted a great ignominy (see on [John 19:31](../../../kjv/john/19/31); [Jeremiah 26:23](../../../kjv/jeremiah/26/23)).
**and with . . . rich**—rather,
"*but He was* with a rich man," c. GESENIUS,
for the parallelism to "the wicked," translates "ungodly"
(the effect of *riches* being to make one ungodly) but the
*Hebrew* everywhere means "rich," never by itself
ungodly; the parallelism, too, is one of contrast; namely, between
their *design* and the *fact,* as it was ordered by God
([Matthew 27:57](../../../kjv/matthew/27/57); [Mark 15:43-46](../../../kjv/mark/15/43-46);
[John 19:39](../../../kjv/john/19/39); [John 19:40](../../../kjv/john/19/40));
two rich men honored Him at His death, Joseph of Arimathæa, and
Nicodemus.
**in his death**—*Hebrew,*
"deaths." LOWTH
translates, "His tomb"; *bamoth,* from a different
root, meaning "high places," and so mounds for sepulture
([Ezekiel 43:7](../../../kjv/ezekiel/43/7)). But all the
versions oppose this, and the *Hebrew* hardly admits it. Rather
translate, "*after* His death" [HENGSTENBERG];
as we say, "*at* His death." The *plural,*
"deaths," intensifies the force; as Adam by sin "dying
died" ([Genesis 2:17](../../../kjv/genesis/2/17), *Margin*);
that is, incurred death, physical and spiritual. So Messiah, His
substitute, endured death in both senses; spiritual, during His
temporary abandonment by the Father; physical, when He gave up the
ghost.
**because**—rather, as the
sense demands (so in [Job 16:17](../../../kjv/job/16/17)),
"*although* He had done no," c. [HENGSTENBERG],
([1 Peter 2:20-22](../../../kjv/1-peter/2/20-22) [1 John 3:5](../../../kjv/1-john/3/5)).
**violence**—that is,
wrong.

**10.** Transition from His
humiliation to His exaltation.
**pleased the Lord**—the
secret of His sufferings. They were voluntarily borne by Messiah, in
order that thereby He might "do *Jehovah's will*"
([John 6:38](../../../kjv/john/6/38); [Hebrews 10:7](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/7);
[Hebrews 10:9](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/9)), as to man's
redemption; so at the end of the verse, "the *pleasure of the*
LORD shall prosper in His
hand."
**bruise**—(see [Hebrews 10:9](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/9)); [Genesis 3:15](../../../kjv/genesis/3/15), was hereby
fulfilled, though the *Hebrew* word for "bruise,"
there, is not the one used here. The word "Himself," in
Matthew, implies a personal *bearing on Himself* of our
maladies, spiritual and physical, which *included as a consequence*
His ministration to our bodily ailments: these latter are the reverse
side of sin; His bearing on Him our spiritual malady involved with it
His bearing sympathetically, and healing, the outward: which is its
fruits and its type. HENGSTENBERG
rightly objects to MAGEE'S
translation, "taken away," instead of "borne,"
that the parallelism to "carried" would be destroyed.
Besides, the *Hebrew* word elsewhere, when connected with *sin,*
means to bear it and its punishment ([Genesis 3:15](../../../kjv/genesis/3/15)). Matthew, elsewhere, also sets forth His vicarious
atonement ([Matthew 20:28](../../../kjv/matthew/20/28)).
**when thou,** c.—rather,
as *Margin,* "when His soul (that is, He) shall have made
an offering," &c. In the *English Version* the change
of person is harsh: from Jehovah, addressed in the second person ([Matthew 20:28](../../../kjv/matthew/20/28)), to Jehovah speaking in the first person in [Matthew 20:28](../../../kjv/matthew/20/28). The *Margin* rightly makes the prophet in the name of
Jehovah Himself to speak in this verse.
**offering for sin**—
([Romans 3:25](../../../kjv/romans/3/25) [1 John 2:2](../../../kjv/1-john/2/2);
[1 John 4:10](../../../kjv/1-john/4/10)).
**his seed**—His spiritual
posterity shall be numerous ([1 John 4:10](../../../kjv/1-john/4/10)); nay, more, though He must die, He shall *see* them.
A numerous posterity was accounted a high blessing among the Hebrews;
still more so, for one to live to *see* them ([Genesis 48:11](../../../kjv/genesis/48/11);
[Psalms 128:6](../../../kjv/psalms/128/6)).
**prolong . . . days**—also
esteemed a special blessing among the Jews ([Psalms 128:6](../../../kjv/psalms/128/6)). Messiah shall, after death, rise again to an endless life
([Hosea 6:2](../../../kjv/hosea/6/2); [Romans 6:9](../../../kjv/romans/6/9)).
**prosper**— ([Romans 6:9](../../../kjv/romans/6/9), *Margin*).

**11.** Jehovah is still speaking.
**see of the travail**—He
shall see such blessed fruits resulting from His sufferings as amply
to repay Him for them ([Isaiah 49:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/49/4);
[Isaiah 49:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/49/5); [Isaiah 50:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/50/5);
[Isaiah 50:9](../../../kjv/isaiah/50/9)). The "satisfaction,"
in seeing the full fruit of His travail of soul in the conversion of
Israel and the world, is to be realized in the last days ([Isaiah 50:9](../../../kjv/isaiah/50/9)).
**his knowledge**—rather,
*the knowledge* (experimentally) *of Him* ([John 17:3](../../../kjv/john/17/3);
[Philippians 3:10](../../../kjv/philippians/3/10)).
**my . . . servant**—Messiah
([Isaiah 42:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/42/1); [Isaiah 52:13](../../../kjv/isaiah/52/13)).
**righteous**—the ground on
which He justifies others, His own righteousness ([Isaiah 52:13](../../../kjv/isaiah/52/13)).
**justify**—treat *as if*
righteous; forensically; on the ground of *His* meritorious
suffering, not *their* righteousness.
**bear . . . iniquities**—
([Isaiah 53:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/4); [Isaiah 53:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/5)),
as the sinner's substitute.

**12. divide**—as a conqueror
dividing the spoil after a victory ([Psalms 2:8](../../../kjv/psalms/2/8);
[Luke 11:22](../../../kjv/luke/11/22)).
**him**—for Him.
**with . . . great**—HENGSTENBERG
translates, "I will give Him the mighty for a portion"; so
the *Septuagint.* But the parallel clause, "with the
strong," favors *English Version.* His triumphs shall be
not merely among the few and weak, but among the many and mighty.
**spoil . . . strong**—
([Colossians 2:15](../../../kjv/colossians/2/15); compare [Colossians 2:15](../../../kjv/colossians/2/15)). "With the great; with the mighty," may mean, as
a great and mighty hero.
**poured out . . . soul**—that
is, His life, which was considered as residing in the blood ([Leviticus 17:11](../../../kjv/leviticus/17/11);
[Romans 3:25](../../../kjv/romans/3/25)).
**numbered with,** c.—not
that He *was* a transgressor, but He was *treated as* such,
when crucified with thieves ([Mark 15:28](../../../kjv/mark/15/28)
[Luke 22:37](../../../kjv/luke/22/37)).
**made intercession,**
c.—This office He began on the cross ([Luke 22:37](../../../kjv/luke/22/37)), and now continues in heaven ([Isaiah 59:16](../../../kjv/isaiah/59/16)
[Hebrews 9:24](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/24); [1 John 2:1](../../../kjv/1-john/2/1)).
Understand *because* before "He was numbered . . . He bare
. . . made intercession." His meritorious death and intercession
are the cause of His ultimate triumph. MAURER,
for the parallelism, translates, "He was put on the same footing
with the transgressors." But *English Version* agrees
better with the *Hebrew,* and with the sense and fact as to
Christ. MAURER'S
translation would make a tautology after "He was numbered with
the transgressors"; parallelism does not need so servile a
repetition. "He *made intercession* for," &c.,
answers to the parallel, "He *was numbered with,*"
&c., as *effect* answers to *cause,* His intercession
for sinners being the effect flowing from His having been numbered
