祂被欺压,在受苦的时候却不开口
七节说,“祂被欺压,在受苦的时候却不开口; 祂像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地,又像羊在剪毛的人面前无声,祂也是这样不开口。”主耶稣按照新约的经纶,经历了这一切的事(徒八32,太二六63~64,二七12,14)。这似乎是很奇怪的传述,但我们需要视之为好信息。这完全是奇特的,完全是不寻常的。因此,当这事被传述时,人觉得惊讶。藉着这样的传扬、传述并启示,基督就使许多国民惊奇(赛五二15)。
因受欺压和审判而被夺去,因先知百姓的罪过而从活人之地被剪除
八节说,“因受欺压和审判祂被夺去; 至于祂同世的人,谁想祂受鞭打,从活人之地被剪除,是因我(先知)百姓的罪过?”基督被捉拿、受审判、被钉十字架,就是被欺压和审判。祂受到大祭司和彼拉多不公正的审判。藉着这种审判,祂被夺去,被带到各各他,放在十字架上。祂同世的人,与祂同时代的人,谁想祂从活人之地被剪除,是因先知百姓,就是那些该受鞭打之犹太人的罪过?(徒八33,太二七26下)。鞭打该落在犹太人身上,但基督这位耶和华的仆人,为他们受了鞭打。
人使祂与恶人同埋,谁知死的时候与财主同葬
九节说,“祂虽然未行强暴,口中也没有诡诈,人还使祂与恶人同埋,谁知死的时候与财主同葬。”虽然基督未行强暴,口中也没有诡诈,犹太人却想使祂与恶人同埋; 但在神的主宰下,祂却葬在财主的墓中。
耶和华喜悦将祂压伤,使祂受痛苦
十节上半说,“耶和华却喜悦将祂压伤,使祂受痛苦。”神喜悦作这事。

Revealing Christ Being the Crucified Redeemer (2) – Isa. 53:7-10b
Isaiah 53:7 says, “He was oppressed, and it was He who was afflicted, / Yet He did not open His mouth; / Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter / And like a sheep that is dumb before its shearers, / So He did not open His mouth.” The Lord Jesus experienced all these things according to the New Testament economy (Acts 8:32; Matt. 26:63-64; 27:12, 14). This may seem to be a strange recounting, but we need to consider this the good news. This is absolutely extraordinary and altogether uncommon. Thus, when this is recounted, people are surprised. It is by being reported, recounted, and revealed in such a way that Christ surprises many nations (Isa. 52:15).
Being Taken Away by Oppression and Judgment, and Being Cut Off out of the Land of the Living for the Transgression of the Prophet’s People
Isaiah 53:8 says, “By oppression and by judgment He was taken away; / And as for His generation, who among them had the thought / That He was cut off out of the land of the living / For the transgression of my [the prophet’s] people to whom the stroke was due?” In being arrested, judged, and crucified, Christ was oppressed and judged. He was judged in an unjust way by the high priest and by Pilate. Through that kind of judgment He was taken away and brought to Calvary and put on the cross. And as for His generation, who among those at His time had the thought that He was cut off from the land of the living for the transgression of the prophet’s people, the Jews, to whom the stroke was due? (Acts 8:33; Matt. 27:26b). The stroke should have fallen upon the Jewish people, but Christ as the Servant of Jehovah suffered the stroke for them.
His Grave Being Assigned with the Wicked, but with a Rich Man in His Death
Isaiah 53:9 says, “And they assigned His grave with the wicked, / But with a rich man in His death, / Although He had done no violence, / Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.” Although Christ had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth, the Jews intended to bury Him with the wicked people; but under God’s sovereignty, He was buried in a rich man’s tomb.
Jehovah Being Pleased to Crush Him, to Afflict Him with Grief
Isaiah 53:10a says, “But Jehovah was pleased to crush Him, to afflict Him with grief.” God was pleased to do this.
