Eustathius has just quoted Isaiah 53:2-3 about the servant's dishonored appearance, and now explains that these forms and sufferings attach to the man, not to the divine nature.
Then, showing plainly that the forms, that is, the sufferings, of splendor are attached to the man and not to the divine, he immediately brings in another quotation, adding: “A man in affliction, knowing how to bear weakness” (Isaiah 53:3).So this is the one who, after his insults, was seen without appearance and without form, and then again from change clothed himself with splendor.For the God dwelling in him was not led to death like a lamb or slaughtered like a sheep, since he is invisible by nature.
