Isaiah 63:3

     3. Reply of Messiah. For the image, see La 1:15. He "treads the wine-press" here not as a sufferer, but as an inflicter of vengeance.

      will tread . . . shall be . . . will stain—rather preterites, "I trod . . . trampled . . . was sprinkled . . . I stained."

      blood—literally, "spirited juice" of the grape, pressed out by treading [GESENIUS].
