Vers. 12. Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul unto death, and ⟨p. 559⟩he was counted with the transgressors, and he bare the sin of many, and prayed for the trespassers.

1Isaiah shows further, what issue Christs death shall have: for it was necessary he should add this doctrine touching the victory which he obtained by his passion; because the knowledge of our reconciliation with the Father by his death, would not otherwise have sufficiently confirmed our hearts. Now he borrows a similitude here from those who used triumphs. For having obtained the victory, they were gloriously apparelled, and received with stately shows: so Christ, as a valiant and noble General, triumphed after the conquest over his enemies.
