Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
wounded—a bodily wound; not mere mental sorrow; literally, "pierced"; minutely appropriate to Messiah, whose hands, feet, and side were pierced (Psalms 22:16). The Margin, wrongly, from a Hebrew root, translates, "tormented."
for . . . for— (Romans 4:25; II Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 9:28; I Peter 2:24; I Peter 3:18) —the cause for which He suffered not His own, but our sins.
bruised—crushing inward and outward suffering (see on Isaiah 53:10).
chastisement—literally, the correction inflicted by a parent on children for their good (Hebrews 12:5-8, Hebrews 12:10-11). Not punishment strictly; for this can have place only where there is guilt, which He had not; but He took on Himself the chastisement whereby the peace (reconciliation with our Father; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:14-15, Ephesians 2:17) of the children of God was to be effected (Hebrews 2:14).
upon him—as a burden; parallel to "hath borne" and "carried."
stripes—minutely prophetical of His being scourged (Matthew 27:26; I Peter 2:24).
healed—spiritually (Psalms 41:4; Jeremiah 8:22).
