Isaiah 53:9 Douay-Rheims

And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

He assigned His grave with the wicked. As His death was that of a malefactor, so His burial was deemed like theirs, although His tomb soon became honored. St. Jerome understands the Gentilee by the wicked, and the Jews by the rich, since they had many privileges : "The Lord suffered and was buried, in order that He might gather to Himself a church of both peoples."
