Context of Isaiah 63:3

1Who is this who is coming from Edom? He is coming from Bozrah and his clothes are bright red. He wears beautiful royal clothes, and he marches forward with great strength. He says, ‘It is me! I, the Lord, tell you that I have won the fight! I have the power to save you.’ 2But why are your clothes red? You look like someone who has walked on grapes, and you have squeezed them to make wine. He says, ‘I have walked on the grapes alone. Nobody from the nations came to help me. I walked on them because I was angry. I squeezed them to pieces in my anger. Their blood splashed on my clothes, and it made all my clothes dirty. 4I decided that it was time to punish my enemies. Then I would save my people from their power. 5I looked for somebody to give help, but there was nobody. I was very upset, because nobody was there to help. So I used my own strength to rescue my people. My anger helped me to be strong.

Commentaries on Isaiah 63:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3And of the people there was none with me - I was wholly abandoned by them: but a good meaning is, No man has had any part in making the atonement; it is entirely the work of the Messiah alone. No created being could have any part in a sacrifice that was to be of infinite merit. And I will stain "And I have stained" - For אגאלתי egalti, a verb of very irregular formation, compounded, as they say, of the two forms of the preterite and future, a MS. has…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3I have trodden the wine-press alone - I, Yahweh, have indeed trod the wine-press of my wrath, and I have done it alone (compare the notes at Isaiah 34:5-6).

It refers to what he had done; or what was then past. And their blood shall be sprinkled - Or rather, their blood was sprinkled. The word used here…Read the comment

I stained." blood--literally, "spirited juice" of the grape, pressed out by treading [Gesenius].Read the comment
