What does the Bible say about Jesus giving his back to the smiters?

Answered in 1 source

Isaiah 50:6 reveals that Jesus willingly gave his back to the smiters, expressing his obedience and submission to suffering for humanity's sake.

In Isaiah 50:6, it is stated, 'I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair.' This prophetic declaration captures the essence of Jesus' willing sacrifice. Unlike a rebellious servant, Christ submitted to the suffering and shame that was unjustly imposed upon Him. He did not resist the abuse or hide his face from the shame of spitting and mockery. This act of giving his back signifies not just a physical suffering, but illustrates the depth of His love and obedience to the Father's will, ultimately fulfilling the prophecies concerning His role as the suffering servant.
