This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Ver. 14. As many were astonied at thee,] viz., At thine abasement first, and then at thine advancement thereupon. All things in Christ are admirable; well, therefore, might he be called "Wonderful." {Isa_9:6}
His visage was so marred more than any man.] Partly through the anguish of his mind at his Passion and on the cross, and partly also by the misusage of his body, while they made totum pro vulnero corpus, by their scourging, scratching, racking on the tree, piercing, buffeting, &c.
And his form more than the sons of men.] Plusquam filii Adae, more than those of the common sort; whereas naturally his body, being of the finest temperament, and no way diseased, could not but be very beautiful. See Psa_45:2. {See Trapp on "Psa_45:2"}
