This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





So as that which Isaiah prophesied, Isa_53:1, appeared to be fulfilled in them; for the term ina, which we translate that, doth not in Scripture always denote the final cause, with respect to the counsel and intention of God, but oft times the event. So Joh_5:20 Rom_5:20 2Co_1:17.



The arm of the Lord may either signify the gospel, which is called the power of God to salvation. Rom_1:16 1Co_1:18; or else the Messiah, who is thought to be mentioned under this notion by Isaiah, Isa_51:5 Isa_52:10 59:16 63:12, because the Father worketh by him, as a man worketh by his arm, Isa_1:3,14.
