Isaías 52:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 52:14

As many were astonished at thee
Not so much at the miracles he wrought, the doctrines he taught, and the work he did; or at his greatness and glory, at his exaltation and dignity, though very wonderful; as at his humiliation, the mean appearance he made, the low estate he was brought into; the sufferings and death which he underwent. These words are placed between the account of his exaltation and humiliation, and may be thought to have respect to both; and indeed it is astonishing that one so great as he was, and is, should become so low as he did; and also that one that was brought so low should be raised so high: his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the
sons of men;
though fairer than the children of men, as he was the immediate workmanship of the divine Spirit, and without sin; yet, what with his griefs and sorrows he bore, and troubles he met with; what with watchings and fastings, with laborious preaching, and constant travelling about to do good; what with sweat and blood, with buffetings and scourgings, never was any man's face more marred, or his form more altered, than his was.

Isaías 52:14 In-Context

12 Mas vocês não partirão apressadamente,nem sairão em fuga;pois o SENHOR irá à frente de vocês;o Deus de Israel será a sua retaguarda.

13 Vejam, o meu servo agirá com sabedoria;será engrandecido, elevado e muitíssimo exaltado.

14 Assim como houve muitos que ficaram pasmados diante dele;sua aparência estava tão desfigurada,que ele se tornou irreconhecível como homem; não parecia um ser humano;

15 de igual modo ele aspergirá muitas nações,e reis calarão a boca por causa dele.Pois aquilo que não lhes foi dito verão,e o que não ouviram compreenderão.
