A.T. Robertson Commentary Romans 15:3

"For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me." — Romans 15:3 (ASV)

Pleased not himself (ουχ εαυτω ηρεσεν). Aorist active indicative of αρεσκω with the usual dative. The supreme example for Christians. See 14:15. He quotes Ps 69:9 (Messianic Psalm) and represents the Messiah as bearing the reproaches of others.
