"All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
All they that see me laugh me to scorn,.... To the afflicted pity should be shown; but instead or pitying him in his distresses they laughed at him; this must be understood of the
soldiers when they had him in Pilate's hall, and of the Jews in general when he hung upon the cross; some particular persons must be excepted, as John the beloved disciple, the mother of our Lord, Mary Magdalene, and some other women, who stood afar off beholding him; they shoot out the lip; or "open with the lip" (y); they made mouths at him, they put out their lips, or gaped upon him with their mouths, and in a way of sport and pastime made wide mouths and drew out their tongues, as in Job 16:10 ; they shake the head, saying; in a way of scorn and derision, as in Lam 2:15 . This was fulfilled in the Jews, Mat 27:39 . (y) "hiatum fecerunt labiis suis", Grotius; "they make a mow with their lip", Ainsworth.
