Rejected by All
Commentators emphasize that the Messiah's rejection was total. Albert Barnes notes he was rejected by every class of society—Pharisees, Romans, the rich, and the poor. John Calvin and Charles Spurgeon extend this to all humanity, including believers before their conversion. The verse uses "we," implicating the reader and highlighting that, apart from grace, all people are guilty of despising and rejecting Christ.
