This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_53:12 Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Ver. 12. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great.] Or, I will give many to him. {Psa_2:8} Some sense it thus: I will give him to conquer, plunder, and spoil the evil spirits; {as Col_2:15} and this he shall have for a reward of his ignominious death, and his intercession for some of his enemies, whom he conquered by a new and noble kind of victory, viz., by loving them and by praying for them.
And he was numbered with transgressors.] So he became a sinner, though sinless: 1. By imputation; 2. By reputation.
And he bare the sins of many.] Not of all, as A. Lapide here would have it, because all are many, &c.
And made intercession.] For those that with wicked hands crucified him; {Luk_23:34 Act_2:23} so for others still. {Heb_7:25}
