Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 53:9

"And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth." — Isaiah 53:9 (ASV)

And with the rich in his death;

Lying in the new tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.

Because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

If he had used either violence or deceit, he might have escaped; but because he was harmless and true, therefore he must die.

And 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.

He died, and was buried, because he had done no violence. Most men who have perished by judicial sentence have had to die because they have done violence, and because deceit was in their mouth; but here is One who is found guilty of nothing but excess of love — loving sinners so much that he must give his life rather than that they should perish.

And he made his grave with the wicked,

He was crucified between two malefactors.

And with the rich in his death; –

He was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.

Because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

For that very reason he was qualified to bear our sin; because he had no sin of his own, therefore he could bear ours, and he did bear ours, and died, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.
