Vers. 8. He was taken out of prison, and from judgement: and who shall declare his age? For he was cut out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he plagued.
Vers. 8. Hee was taken out of prison, and from iudgement: and who shall declare his age? For hee was cut out of the lande of the liuing: for the transgression of my people was hee plagued.
This place is diversly expounded. Some think the Prophet prosecutes the argument which he began to handle,1 vers. 6. namely, that Christ was smitten with Gods hand, and afflicted for our sins. The Greeks translate; And in his abasing, his judgement appeared. Others, He was lifted up without delay. Others expound; That he was lifted up upon the Cross: that is to say, Christ was led to the place of execution, immediately after his apprehension. For mine own part, I rather agree with those who think that the Prophet passeth now to the glory of his resurrection, having before spoken of his death: and by this means, meant to meet with mens perplexed thoughts, which might trouble and grieve the hearts of many.
