Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
Vs.4
He had griefs and sorrows;
being acquainted with them, he kept up the
acquaintance,
Were griefs and sorrows allotted him?
He bore them, and blamed not his lot; he
carried them, and did neither shrink from them, nor sink under them.
---He had blows and bruises; he was stricken,
smitten, and afflicted.
---His sorrows bruised him; he felt pain and smart from
them; they touched him in the most tender part, especially when God was
dishonored, and when he forsook him upon the cross.
----At last he was
smitten with the hand, with blow after blow.
It was a
very great mystery that so excellent a person should suffer such hard things;
and it is natural to ask with amazement, "What evil had
he done?"
