Vs. 1. The Lord Jesus is given praise, honor and glory, but He agonized in the garden and bore the curse on the tree (
Luke 22:44
44
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. (Luke 22:44)
;
Gal. 3:13
13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (Galatians 3:13)
).
Vs. 6. Our Lord is worshipped, but when here in the world He was mocked (
Matt. 27:39-44
39
And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40
And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43
He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. (Matthew 27:39‑44)
).
Vss. 7-9. He, the Lamb, has eternal companionship—His beloved bride; yet He bore the cross alone, forsaken of God (
Matt. 27:46
46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46)
).
Vs. 11. He rides a white horse victoriously. He rode lowly into Jerusalem on a donkey (
Matt. 21:15
15
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, (Matthew 21:15)
).
Vs. 12. The Lord, who is Faithful and True, wears many crowns (diadems). In this world He was given a crown of thorns (
Matt. 27:29
29
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! (Matthew 27:29)
).
Vs. 13. His vesture is dipped in the blood of His enemies, but on the cross He shed His own blood
for
His enemies (
John 19:34
34
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. (John 19:34)
).
Vs. 15. He rules the nations with a rod of iron, yet He was smitten with a rod upon the cheek (
Micah 5:1
1
Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. (Micah 5:1)
;
Matt. 27:30
30
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. (Matthew 27:30)
).
Vs. 16. His glorious title is “King of kings and Lord of lords.” On the cross Pilate wrote His title, “Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews” (
John 19:19
19
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. (John 19:19)
).
Vs. 19. He judges the Roman armies. Roman soldiers had crucified Him (
Mark 15:15
15
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. (Mark 15:15)
).
Vs. 20. Two
wicked
men are cast alive into the lake of fire. Two
righteous
men, Enoch and Elijah, are taken alive into heaven (
Gen. 5:24
24
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. (Genesis 5:24)
;
2 Kings 2:11
11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 2:11)
).
Vs. 21. The Lord’s enemies are slain by His Word. But when on the cross He said,
“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”
(
Luke 23:34
34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 23:34)
).
