Isaiah 52:13 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Behold — This is the beginning of a new prophecy, which is continued from hence to the end of the next chapter. My servant — That it is Christ who is here spoken of, is so evident, that the Chaldee paraphrast, and other ancient, and some later Hebrew doctors, understand it directly of him, and that divers Jews have been convinced and converted to the Christian faith, by the evidence of this prophecy. Prosper — This is fitly put in the first place to prevent those scandals which otherwise might arise from the succeeding passages, which describe his state of humiliation. Very high — Here are three words signifying the same thing to express the height and glory of his exaltation.

Isaiah 52:13
