Isa. 53:1 Us refers to the believing remnant of Israel (quoted in John 12:37–38; Rom. 10:16). The arm of the Lord is the power of God in action (see Isa. 40:10; 51:9; 62:8).
Isa. 53:3 a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. “Acquainted with” could also be translated “knowing.”
Isa. 53:4–6 These verses are the heart of the passage.
Isa. 53:4 Surely introduces the servant’s sufferings on the people’s behalf. Acting as their substitute, he took upon himself the consequences of their sin: griefs and sorrows (see Matt. 8:14–17). smitten by God, and afflicted. God is the ultimate source of this faithful servant’s suffering.
Isa. 53:5 our transgressions, our iniquities. His sufferings were caused by human sin (see Matt. 8:17; 1 Pet. 2:24). pierced, crushed, chastisement, wounds. Isaiah emphasizes how severely God punished the rejected servant for the sins of mankind.
Isa. 53:6 All we . . . every one. All people contributed to his pain. like sheep. Helpless. the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. See Lev. 16:21–22; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:24.
Isa. 53:10 the will of the Lord. There was a divine purpose for the human cruelty toward the servant (see Luke 24:26; Acts 2:23; 4:27–28). his soul. He suffered not just in his body but in his deepest inner self. an offering for guilt. The servant’s sacrificial death set sinners free from their guilt before God (see Lev. 5:15–16). he shall see his offspring. Those who strayed like sheep (Isa. 53:6) return as children. he shall prolong his days. Although resurrection is not explicit here, it is the natural meaning.
Isa. 53:11 he shall see and be satisfied. The outcome of the servant’s sufferings is the satisfaction of obvious accomplishment. by his knowledge. His experiential knowledge of grief (v. 3, see esv footnote). many. His triumph spreads out beyond the remnant of Israel to “a great multitude that no one could number” (Rev. 7:9; see Rom. 5:15). to be accounted righteous. See Rom. 4:11–12.
