Christ's kingdom shall be exalted Just as many were appalled at Him The phrase "Just as many were appalled at Him" speaks to the shock and astonishment that people felt when they witnessed the suffering servant. The Hebrew root for "appalled" is "שָׁמֵם" (shamem), which conveys a sense of desolation and horror. This reaction is not merely one of surprise but of deep disturbance, reflecting the profound impact of witnessing the suffering of the servant. Historically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of the reaction to Jesus Christ's crucifixion, where many were indeed appalled by the brutality and injustice of His suffering. His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man and His form was marred beyond human likeness His visage was so marred . . .--The words conflict strangely with the type of pure and holy beauty with which Christian art has made us familiar as its ideal of the Son of Man. It has to be noted, however, that the earlier forms of that art, prior to the time of Constantine, and, in some cases, later, represented the Christ as worn, emaciated, with hardly any touch of earthly comeliness, and that it is at least possible that the beauty may have been of expression rather than of feature or complexion, and that men have said of Him, as of St. Paul, that his "bodily presence was weak" (2Corinthians 10:10). Verse 14. - As many were astonied at thee. The world was "astonied" to see, in One come to deliver it, no outward show of grandeur or magnificence, no special beauty or "comeliness" (Isaiah 53:2), but a Presence unattractive to the mass of men at all times, and in the end so cruelly marred and disfigured as to retain scarcely any resemblance to the ordinary form and face of man. The prophet, as Delitzsch says, sits at the foot of the cross on Calvary, and sees the Redeemer as he hung upon the accursed tree, after he had been buffeted, and crowned with thorns, and smitten, and scourged, and crucified, when his face was covered with bruises and with gore, and his frame and features distorted with agony.Parallel Commentaries ...
