<p>2:23 <i>Who, when he was insulted, did not retaliate with insults, when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed</i><i> himself to Him that judges righteously</i>- a reference to the Lord&rsquo;s final words on the cross: &ldquo;Into thy hand I commit my spirit&rdquo;? We likewise should follow that example in our dying with Him, in that we too &ldquo;commit the keeping of our souls to him in well doing&rdquo; (4:19). See on Mt. 27:26. At the Lord's death, the Father judged both His Son's righteousness and the world's rejection of it at that time. See on Jn. 12:42; 19:13,37. It&rsquo;s as if the Father judged the world as unworthy and His Son as worthy in the time of the Lord&rsquo;s death.</p>
