Isaiah 53:8 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Taken away — Out of this life. By distress and judgment — By oppression and violence. and a pretence of justice. His generation — His posterity. For his death shall not be unfruitful; when he is raised from the dead, he shall have a spiritual seed, a numberless multitude of those who shall believe in him. Cut off — By a violent death. And this may be added as a reason of the blessing of a numerous posterity conferred upon him, because he was willing to be cut off for the transgression of his people.

Isaiah 53:8

8 He was taken from prisonc and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
