53:4 our griefs. “Griefs” means “sicknesses” (Matthew 8:17). All sickness and pain is ultimately the result of sin, especially the fatal sickness of death itself. By His death, all pain and sickness and death will finally be removed forever (Revelation 21:4, 5).

53:4 stricken. “Stricken” means “plagued.”

53:5 wounded. This phrase means literally, “thrust through,” as with a spear, or spikes, speaking of crucifixion.

53:5 bruised. This phrase means literally, “crushed,” as to death. Compare Genesis 3:15.

53:5 are healed. Note I Peter 2:24.
