In the context of Isaiah, this can be seen as a prophecy of the Messiah, who Christians believe is Jesus Christ. The oppression and judgment refer to the trials Jesus faced, including His arrest and the subsequent trials before Jewish and Roman authorities. These events are recorded in the Gospels, where Jesus is subjected to false accusations and an unfair trial, ultimately leading to His crucifixion. The phrase underscores the miscarriage of justice, as Jesus was innocent yet condemned.and who can recount His descendants? This phrase suggests the lack of physical descendants or a future generation for the suffering servant. In the historical and cultural context of ancient Israel, having descendants was a sign of blessing and legacy. The question implies that the servant's life was cut short, preventing him from having offspring. For Christians, this is seen as a reference to Jesus, who, according to the New Testament, did not have biological children. However, spiritually, His followers are considered His descendants, as they continue His mission and teachings.For He was cut off from the land of the living; The phrase "cut off from the land of the living" indicates a premature and violent death. In biblical terms, being "cut off" often refers to a sudden and untimely end. This is seen as a prophecy of Jesus' crucifixion, where He was executed at a relatively young age. The phrase also connects to <a href="/daniel/9-26.htm">Daniel 9:26</a>, which speaks of the Messiah being "cut off." The imagery of being removed from the land of the living emphasizes the finality and severity of His death.He was stricken for the transgression of My people. This phrase reveals the purpose behind the suffering servant's affliction: it was for the transgressions of others. In the context of Isaiah, this is a substitutionary atonement, where the servant bears the punishment deserved by others. Christians interpret this as a prophecy of Jesus' sacrificial death, where He took upon Himself the sins of humanity. This concept is central to Christian theology, as seen in passages like <a href="/1_peter/2-24.htm">1 Peter 2:24</a>, which states that Jesus bore our sins in His body on the cross. The phrase underscores the servant's role as a willing and innocent substitute for the guilty.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_suffering_servant.htm">The Suffering Servant</a> This passage is part of the "Servant Songs" in Isaiah, which Christians traditionally interpret as a prophecy about Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who suffers for the sins of humanity. 2. <a href="/topical/o/oppression_and_judgment.htm">Oppression and Judgment</a> Refers to the unjust treatment and legal proceedings that the Servant endures, symbolizing the trials and crucifixion of Jesus. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_land_of_the_living.htm">The Land of the Living</a> A metaphor for life on earth, indicating that the Servant would be killed. 4. <a href="/topical/m/my_people.htm">My People</a> In the context of Isaiah, this refers to the Israelites, but in a broader Christian interpretation, it includes all of God's people who benefit from the Servant's sacrifice. 5. <a href="/topical/t/transgression.htm">Transgression</a> The sins and wrongdoings of the people, for which the Servant is punished.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_prophecy.htm">Understanding Prophecy</a> Recognize the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in the life and work of Jesus Christ, strengthening faith in the divine inspiration of Scripture. <a href="/topical/t/the_cost_of_redemption.htm">The Cost of Redemption</a> Reflect on the immense sacrifice Jesus made for humanity's sins, prompting gratitude and a deeper commitment to live according to His teachings. <a href="/topical/i/injustice_and_suffering.htm">Injustice and Suffering</a> Consider how Jesus' unjust suffering provides a model for enduring personal trials and injustices with faith and patience. <a href="/topical/i/intercession_for_others.htm">Intercession for Others</a> Just as the Servant suffered for the transgressions of others, Christians are called to intercede and bear one another's burdens in prayer and action. <a href="/topical/e/evangelism_and_witness.htm">Evangelism and Witness</a> Use the prophecy of <a href="/bsb/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a> as a tool for sharing the Gospel, explaining how Jesus fulfills these ancient predictions.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_isaiah_53.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Isaiah 53</a> <a href="/q/why_is_christ's_resurrection_important.htm">Why is Jesus Christ's resurrection significant?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_gospel_of_jesus'_wife.htm">What role does silence play in the Bible?</a> <a href="/q/what_defines_the_land_of_the_living.htm">What defines the land of the living?</a> <a href="/q/what_do_daniel's_70_weeks_mean.htm">What do the seventy weeks of Daniel signify?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/53.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) He was taken from prison . . .--The Hebrew preposition admits of this rendering, which is adopted by many commentators, as describing the oppression and iniquitous trial which had preceded the death of the servant. It admits equally of the sense, through oppression and through judgment; and, on the whole, this gives a preferable sense. The whole procedure was tainted with iniquity.Who shall declare his generation?--The words are, perhaps, the most difficult of the whole section, and have been very differently explained: (1) "Who shall declare his life, the mystery of his birth, his eternal being?" (2) "Who shall count his spiritual offspring?" as in <a href="/psalms/22-30.htm" title="A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.">Psalm 22:30</a>. (3) "As to his generation (i.e., his contemporaries, as in <a href="/jeremiah/2-31.htm" title="O generation, see you the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? a land of darkness? why say my people, We are lords; we will come no more to you?">Jeremiah 2:31</a>), who will consider rightly?" (4) "Who shall set forth his generation in all the intensity of their guilt?"--to say nothing of other renderings, which render the noun as "his dwelling," i.e., the grave, or his "course of life," or his "fate." Of these (3) seems most in harmony with the context, the words that follow pointing to the fact which ought to have been considered, and was not, that though the Servant of Jehovah was smitten, it was not for his own sins, but theirs.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/53.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 8. - He was taken from prison and from judgment; rather, by oppression and a judgment was he taken away; i.e. (us Dr. Kay says) "by a violence which cloaked itself under the formalities of a legal process." The Septuagint Version, which is quoted by Philip the deacon in the Acts (Isaiah 8:33), must have been derived from quite a different text. It preserves, however, the right rendering of the verb, "was he taken away," i.e. removed from the earth. Who shall declare his generation? literally, his generation who considereth? The meaning is obscure. Dr. Kay understands by "his generation," his lifetime or his life, comparing <a href="/isaiah/38-12.htm">Isaiah 38:12</a>, "Mine age is departed," where the same word is used and accompanied by a pronominal suffix. Mr. Urwick suggests that it includes (1) his origin; (2) his earthly life; and (3) his everlasting reign in heaven. . . . <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/53-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>By oppression מֵעֹ֤צֶר (mê·‘ō·ṣer) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6115.htm">Strong's 6115: </a> Closure, constraint and judgment וּמִמִּשְׁפָּט֙ (ū·mim·miš·pāṭ) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4941.htm">Strong's 4941: </a> A verdict, a sentence, formal decree, divine law, penalty, justice, privilege, style He was taken away, לֻקָּ֔ח (luq·qāḥ) Verb - QalPass - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3947.htm">Strong's 3947: </a> To take and who מִ֣י (mî) Interrogative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4310.htm">Strong's 4310: </a> Who?, whoever, in oblique construction with prefix, suffix can recount יְשׂוֹחֵ֑חַ (yə·śō·w·ḥê·aḥ) Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7878.htm">Strong's 7878: </a> To muse, complain, talk (of) His descendants? דּוֹר֖וֹ (dō·w·rōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1755.htm">Strong's 1755: </a> A revolution of time, an age, generation, a dwelling For כִּ֤י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction He was cut off נִגְזַר֙ (niḡ·zar) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1504.htm">Strong's 1504: </a> To cut down, off, to destroy, divide, exclude, decide from the land מֵאֶ֣רֶץ (mê·’e·reṣ) Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land of the living; חַיִּ֔ים (ḥay·yîm) Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2416.htm">Strong's 2416: </a> Alive, raw, fresh, strong, life He was stricken נֶ֥גַע (ne·ḡa‘) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5061.htm">Strong's 5061: </a> Mark -- a blow, a spot for the transgression מִפֶּ֥שַׁע (mip·pe·ša‘) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6588.htm">Strong's 6588: </a> Transgression of My people. עַמִּ֖י (‘am·mî) Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/53-8.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 53:8 He was taken away by oppression (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/53-7.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 53:7"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 53:7" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/53-9.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 53:9"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 53:9" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
