Justice Denied
Commentators explain that the phrase "in his humiliation his judgment was taken away" points to the profound injustice of Jesus's trial. When He was at His most vulnerable and friendless, a just verdict was withheld, and He was condemned. This highlights that His suffering was not just physical pain, but a complete miscarriage of justice.
