Context of Isaiah 53:11
9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul to death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Commentaries on Isaiah 53:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Shall be satisfied "And be satisfied" - The Septuagint, Vulgate, Sryiac, and a MS. add the conjunction to the verb, וישבע vaigisba . Shall my righteous servant justify "Shall my servant justify" - Three MSS., (two of them ancient), omit the word צדיק tsaddik ; it seems to be only an imperfect repetition, by mistake, of the preceding word. It makes a solecism in this place; for according to the constant usage of the Hebrew language, the adjective, in a…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11He shall see of the travail of his soul - This is the language of Yahweh, who is again introduced as speaking. The sense is, he shall see the fruit, or the result of his sufferings, and shall be satisfied. He shall see so much good resulting from his great sorrows; so much happiness, and so many saved, that the benefit shall be an ample compensation for all that he endured. The word rendered here travail‘ (עמל ‛âmâl ), denotes properly labor, toil…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-12Verses 10-12 Come, and see how Christ loved us! We could not put him in our stead, but he put himself. Thus he took away the sin of the world, by taking it on himself. He made himself subject to death, which to us is the wages of sin. Observe the graces and glories of his state of exaltation. Christ will not commit the care of his family to any other. God's purposes shall take effect. And whatever is undertaken according to God's pleasure shall prosper…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11His knowledge: This does not mean knowledge in the sense of ideas in the mind. It refers to everything the servant would live through. It includes his obedience, his suffering, and his close relationship with God. Because the servant obeys God fully, many people can be put right with God. This is called justification (God declaring a person to be right with him). He can do this because he will carry and bear their sins (see Genesis 15:6; Romans 5:18–19).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. Jehovah is still speaking. see of the travail--He shall see such blessed fruits resulting from His sufferings as amply to repay Him for them (Is 49:4, 5; 50:5, 9). The "satisfaction," in seeing the full fruit of His travail of soul in the conversion of Israel and the world, is to be realized in the last days (Is 2:2-4). his knowledge--rather, the knowledge (experimentally) of Him (Joh 17:3; Php 3:10). my ... servant--Messiah (Is 42:1; 52:13)…Read the comment
