This amazing passage from the Hebrew Prophets
was written over 700 years before the birth
of Jesus. It is found in Jewish Bibles today,
though it is left out of the weekly synagogue
readings, as are many other texts of the
Bible. When people read Isaiah 53 without
knowing which part of the Bible it comes
from, they often wrongly assume is from the
New Testament. Did Isaiah foresee the
sufferings of Jesus to pay for our sins?
Isaiah 52
The Exalted Servant
13 Behold, My servant will prosper, He will
be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.
14 Just as many were astonished at you, My
people, So His appearance was marred more
than any man And His form more than the sons
of men.
15 Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings
will shut their mouths on account of Him; For
what had not been told them they will see,
And what they had not heard they will
understand.
Isaiah 53
The Suffering Servant
1 Who has believed our message? And to whom
has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For He grew up before Him like a tender
shoot, And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty That we
should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we
should be attracted to Him.
3 He was despised and forsaken of men, A man
of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And
like one from whom men hide their face He was
despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our
sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed
Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced through for our
transgressions, He was crushed for our
iniquities; The chastening for our well-being
fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are
healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each
of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD
has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on
Him.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet
He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that
is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is
silent before its shearers, So He did not
open His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken
away; And as for His generation, who
considered That He was cut off out of the
land of the living For the transgression of
my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9 His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet
He was with a rich man in His death, Because
He had done no violence, Nor was there any
deceit in His mouth.
10 But the LORD was pleased To crush Him,
putting Him to grief; If He would render
Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His
offspring, He will prolong His days, And the
good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His
hand.
11 As a result of the anguish of His soul, He
will see it and be satisfied; By His
knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will
justify the many, As He will bear their
iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with
the great, And He will divide the booty with
the strong; Because He poured out Himself to
death, And was numbered with the
transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of
many, And interceded for the transgressors.
