But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
New Defender's Study Bible Notes
53:5 wounded. This phrase means literally, “thrust through,” as with a spear, or spikes, speaking of crucifixion.
53:5 bruised. This phrase means literally, “crushed,” as to death. Compare Genesis 3:15.
53:6 hath laid on him. This means literally, “laid on with a death-dealing blow,” as He died both for the sin of the world and our individual sins (note John 1:29; Romans 5:12).
53:7 was afflicted. “Afflicted” means “bowed Himself”—that is, willingly submitted to all the humiliation and suffering—for us!
53:7 as a lamb. Here lies the basis for the many New Testament references to Christ as the Lamb.
53:7 dumb. Note the fulfillment (Luke 23:9, etc.) and the applications (Acts 8:32,35; I Peter 2:23).
