Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 53:3

_ _ 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 52:14; Isaiah 49:7).

_ _ 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); 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 53:1).

_ _ esteemed ... notnegative contempt; the previous words express positive.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 53:1-3.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 53:3

We hid — We scorned to look upon him.
