I prefer the translations that say crush your head. He does much more than bruise it, but yes. Satan only bruised Christ. Christ crushed him. And he did it by dying. How ironic is that! And perfect!!
Thanks I would think Its the lord that is doing the bruising
Interesting the NIV does say he was crushed the word bruise not found in the whole chapter . A mix some. say crushed others say bruised
Crush=overpower
Isiah 53:5 NIV But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was
crushed for our iniquities;
The Son of man had no power of his own to crush.
King James seems to make more sense.
Isiah 53:3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.;He was oppressed, and
he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.;He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.;And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth
.Yet it pleased the
Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
