I am counted with them that go down into the pit, etc.] With the dead, with them that are worthy of death, with malefactors that are judicially put to death, and are not laid in a common grave, but put into a pit together: thus Christ was reckoned and accounted of by the Jews; the sanhedrim counted him worthy of death; and the common people cried out Crucify him; and they did crucify him between two malefactors; and so he was numbered or counted with transgressors, and as one of them, (<235303>Isaiah 53:3,4,12). I am as a man that hath no strength; for his “strength” was “dried up like a potsherd”, (<192215>Psalm 22:15), though he was the mighty God, and, as man, was made strong by the Lord for himself.
