Athanasius of Alexandria

296–373

On the Incarnation of the Word 37 (373)

For he it is who proceeded from a virgin and appeared as man on the earth and whose generation after the flesh cannot be declared. For there is none who can tell his father after the flesh, his body not being of a man but of a virgin alone. Thus, no one can declare the corporeal generation of the Savior from a man in the same way as one can draw up a genealogy of David and Moses and of all the patriarchs.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He was stricken to death, to the grave which he made with the wicked (for he was crucified between two thieves, as if he had been the worst of the three) and yet with the rich, for he was buried in a sepulchre that belonged to Joseph, an honourable counsellor.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He was delivered to death for our offences, Rom. iv. Hence it is said to be according to the scriptures, according to this scripture, that Christ died for our sins, 1 Cor. xv. Some read this, by the transgressions of my people; that is, by the wicked hands of the Jews, who were, in profession, God's people, he was stricken, was crucified and slain, Acts ii.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Rather, JEHOVAH speaks in the person of His prophet, "My people," by the election of grace (Heb 2:13). was he stricken--Hebrew, "the stroke (was laid) upon Him." GESENIUS says the Hebrew means "them"; the collective body, whether of the prophets or people, to which the Jews refer the whole prophecy.
