Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Peter 2:23

23 Who when he was reviled reviled net again , when he suffered he threatned not , but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.

By Christ's being reviled, we are to understand all those injurious Words, Reproaches, Slanders, Blasphemies, which his Persecutors cast out against him.

Therefore when he told the Jews they were of their Father the Devil, Iohn 8.44. that was not a reviling them, but a just accusation of them, or reproof of their Devilish behaviour.

When he was affected not only with verbal but real injuries, buffeted, spit upon, crowned with Thorns, crucified.

He was so far from avenging himself, or recompencing Evil for Evil; that he did not so much as threaten what he would afterward do to them.

Or, his cause, as in the Margin; neither is in the Greek, but either may be well supplied, and to the same purpose the sence is, Christ did not retaliate, nor act any thing out of private Revenge, but so referr'd himself, and the judgment of his Cause to his Father's good Pleasure, as rather to desire Pardon for his Persecutors, than Vengeance on them, Luke 23.34. The Apostle adds this of God's judging righteously, for the comfort of Servants to whom he speaks, as Eph. 6.8, 9. Col. 3.24. and 4.1. and for the terror of Masters, that the former might learn patience, and the latter moderation.

Marginal references: Matth. 27.39. Joh. 8.48, 49.; Or, committed his cause.
