That the purposes of the Lord shall be brought about, and all His words be fulfilled wherein He promised Eternal Life to mankind, the Lord permitted His righteous Servant to suffer and make His life an offering for sin. That we may be pardoned of our sins and receive Salvation in His Kingdom was the end for which the Servant, Jesus Christ, suffered and died; "He was smitten to death."
The exact completion of this prophecy by Isaiah will be fully shown by adding here the several circumstances of the burial of Jesus. All are collected from the accounts of the evangelists:
There was a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin, and of a respectable character, who had not consented to their counsel and act. He went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. He laid it in his own new tomb, which had been hewed out of the rock, near the place where Jesus was crucified; having first wound it in fine linen with spices, as the manner of the Jews was to bury the rich and great."
