• Note the first word— “Therefore”. Jehovah speaks, and declares that because of what Jesus accomplished in the day of His humiliation, He shall be assigned a great portion in the day of glory. (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
• This last verse declares that instead of His sufferings being in any way contradictory of His exaltation, they are the secure basis on which His eternal fame and splendor will rest. And further, what He has won is not for Himself alone, for He will divide the spoil with others who are designated “the strong”. Our Lord’s words, recorded in Matthew 11:12, may be an allusion to this, for strength was needed to receive Him, when the rejection of Himself and His claims was rising like a tidal wave to sweep all before it. (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
• It is remarkable how the soul of Christ in connection with His sacrifice is emphasized in this chapter, for we have the two statements— Jehovah made His soul an offering for sin, and also that He poured out His soul unto death. In Hebrew 10 the emphasis is placed upon His body, which was prepared for Him, and which He offered, as stated in verse 10 of that chapter. In each of the four Gospels His spirit comes into prominence. In John’s Gospel the record is, “He delivered up His spirit” (New Trans.). (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
