Matthew Henry Commentary Isaiah 52:13-15

"Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men), so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand." — Isaiah 52:13-15 (ASV)

Here begins that wonderful, detailed, and faithful description of the office, character, and glory of the Messiah, which has struck conviction in many of the most hardened unbelievers. Christ is Wisdom itself; in the work of our redemption, the wisdom of God appeared in a mystery.

Those who saw him said, "Surely, never has man looked so miserable; never was sorrow like his sorrow." But God highly exalted him.

That will be discovered by the gospel of Christ, which could never be told in any other way. And Christ, having once shed his blood for sinners, its power still continues. May all opposers see the wisdom of ceasing from their opposition and become partakers of the blood of sprinkling and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, obeying him and praising his salvation.
