A Prophecy of Christ's Suffering
Multiple commentators, including Spurgeon, Gill, and Henry, emphasize that this verse is a direct prophecy of Jesus Christ's suffering. The broken heart from reproach and the complete abandonment by friends were precisely fulfilled in Christ's passion, particularly in Gethsemane and on the cross. This fulfillment is presented as powerful evidence for the Bible's divine inspiration and Jesus's identity as the Messiah.
