A Profound Misjudgment
Onlookers saw the Servant's suffering and wrongly concluded he was being punished by God for his own sins. Commentators explain this was a common assumption in that culture. The verse reveals the shocking truth: he was suffering not for his own transgressions, but because he was bearing 'our' griefs and carrying 'our' sorrows. This dramatic reversal from human judgment to divine reality is a core confession of faith.
