Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
He hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see Him,
there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
Vs.2
For he shall grow up - Hence the Seed of the woman, the Seed promised to the patriarchs is,
...the Child born, and the Son
given; and according to St. John, 'the Son of God, the only-begotten of
the Father, full of grace and truth......then, in this place, should be understood to mean Jesus Christ, and him alone.
---The contempt they put upon the person of Christ because of
his appearance. 
---This seems to come in as a reason why
they rejected his doctrine, because they were prejudiced against his person.
---When he was on earth many that heard him preach, and could not but approve of
what they heard, would not give it any regard or entertainment, because it came
from one that made so small a figure and had no external advantages to recommend
him.
---The low condition he submitted to, and how he abased and
emptied himself. The entry he made into the world, and the character he wore in
it, were no way agreeable to the ideas which the Jews had formed of the Messiah
and their expectations concerning him, but quite the reverse.
---David, when he was
anointed, was of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to, 1 Sa.
16:12. But our Lord Jesus had nothing of that to recommend him.
The low opinion that men had of Him, upon this account.
Being
generally apt to judge of persons and things by the sight of the eye, and
according to outward appearance, they saw no beauty in Him that they should
desire Him.
There was a great deal of true beauty in him, the beauty of holiness
.....enough to render him the desire of all nations;
but the far greater part of those among whom he lived, and conversed, saw none
of this beauty, for it was spiritually discerned.
Carnal hearts see no
excellency in the Lord Jesus, nothing that should induce them to desire an
acquaintance with Him or interest in Him.
