John Trapp on Isaiah 53:3

Ver. 3. He is deſpiſed and rejected of men] Heb. deſitus virorum one at whom the nature and name of man endeth: as we would ſay the very liſt and fag-end of mankind,Jun. Tertul. nullificamen hominis, a worm and no man, not held ſo good as wicked Barabbas, but crucified betwixt two theeves as worſe then either of them, and made nothing of, Mar. 9.12. This is ſo plainly here ſet forth, that ſome of the Jew-doctours (Aben-Ezra for one) when as they cannot rightly diſtinguiſh betwixt the two comings of Chriſt, the one in humility and the other in glory, duos conſtruunt Chriſtos, Genebrard. they make us up two Chriſts: the one the Son of Joſeph, to whom agree thoſe things which the Scriptures ſpeak of concerning Chriſts meanneſs and ſufferings; the other the Son of David, to whom they apply thoſe things that are written concerning the glory, majeſty, and triumphs of Chriſt.

Ex doloribus conſlatus. A man of ſorrows] q. d. made up of ſorrows. Atque hic mirus artifex eſt Propheta, and here the Prophet ſheweth ſingular skill in diſcribing Chriſts ſtate of humiliation through all the degrees of it: And Faith is much happier in finding out his croſs, blood, nails, tomb, and all, then ever Helen was or any Popiſh relique-monger: and in making uſe of them too, to better purpoſe then that Popiſh Covent of Friars do, who have hired thoſe places of the Turk, built Temples, altars and ſilver floores in honour of the Paſſion.

And acquainted with grief] Heb. knowing of infirmity, or inured to it: ſee Heb. 4.15. The Greek Letany hath By thine unknown ſorrows and ſufferings, Good Lord deliver us.

And we hid as it were our faces from him] Or, And he hid as it were the face from us, viz. as one for his loth ſomeneſſe, his low condition, aſhamed to be ſeen. The Jews in their Talmud queſtion What is the name of Meſſiah? Sanhedrin. Some anſwer Hhenara leprous: and he ſitteth among the poor in the gates of Rome, carrying their ſickneſſes.

He was despiſed] double-deſpiſed; and for the unworthineſſe of the things this is repeated.

And we eſteemed him not] i. e. We contemned and derided him.
