Commentary
wounded--a bodily wound; not mere mental sorrow; literally, "pierced"; minutely appropriate to Messiah, whose hands, feet, and side were pierced (Psa 22:16). The Margin, wrongly, from a Hebrew root, translates, "tormented." for . . . for-- (Rom 4:25; Co2 5:21; Heb 9:28; Pe1 2:24; Pe1 3:18) --the cause for which He suffered not His own, but our sins. bruised--crushing inward and outward suffering (see on Isa 53:10). chastisement--literally, the correction inflicted by a parent on children for their good (Heb 12:5-8, Heb 12:10-11). 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; Rom 5:1; Eph 2:14-15, Eph 2:17) of the children of God was to be effected (Heb 2:14). upon him--as a burden; parallel to "hath borne" and "carried." stripes--minutely prophetical of His being scourged (Mat 27:26; Pe1 2:24). healed--spiritually (Psa 41:4; Jer 8:22).
