For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,
The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me.
Read Chapter 15
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
In the sixtyeighth Psalm [lxx] the Savior says that he did not come to please himself but God the Father. For because he said: “I did not come down from heaven to do my will but the will of him who sent me,” the Jews objected and put him to death as a sinner. Therefore the psalmist puts himself in Christ’s place and says: “The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell on me.” Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
