Isaiah 53
53
1Who #John 12:38; Rom. 10:16has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3#Ps. 22:6; (Is. 49:7; Matt. 27:30, 31; Luke 18:31–33; 23:18)He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and #(Heb. 4:15)acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and #(John 1:10, 11)we did not esteem Him.
4Surely #(Matt. 8:17; Heb. 9:28; 1 Pet. 2:24)He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5But He was #(Is. 53:10; Rom. 4:25; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4)wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His #(1 Pet. 2:24, 25)stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet #Matt. 26:63; 27:12–14; Mark 14:61; 15:5; Luke 23:9; John 19:9He opened not His mouth;
#Acts 8:32, 33; Rev. 5:6He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8He was #Matt. 27:11–26; Luke 23:1–25taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For #(Dan. 9:26)He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9#Matt. 27:57–60; Luke 23:33And they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any #1 Pet. 2:22; 1 John 3:5deceit in His mouth.
10Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul #John 1:29; Acts 2:24; (2 Cor. 5:21)an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge #(1 John 2:1)My righteous #Is. 42:1Servant shall #(Acts 13:38, 39; Rom. 5:15–18)justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12#Ps. 2:8Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
#Col. 2:15And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He #Is. 50:6; (Rom. 3:25)poured out His soul unto death,
And He was #Matt. 27:38; Mark 15:28; Luke 22:37; 2 Cor. 5:21numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And #Luke 23:34made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53
53
1 #
Jn 12.38; Rom 10.16 The people reply,
“Who would have believed what we now report?
Who could have seen the LORD's hand in this?
2It was the will of the LORD that his servant
should grow like a plant taking root in dry ground.
He had no dignity or beauty
to make us take notice of him.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing that would draw us to him.
3We despised him and rejected him;
he endured suffering and pain.
No one would even look at him —
we ignored him as if he were nothing.
4 #
Mt 8.17
“But he endured the suffering that should have been ours,
the pain that we should have borne.
All the while we thought that his suffering
was punishment sent by God.
5 #
1 Pet 2.24
But because of our sins he was wounded,
beaten because of the evil we did.
We are healed by the punishment he suffered,
made whole by the blows he received.
6 #
1 Pet 2.25
All of us were like sheep that were lost,
each of us going his own way.
But the LORD made the punishment fall on him,
the punishment all of us deserved.
7 #
Rev 5.6
#
Acts 8.32–33
“He was treated harshly, but endured it humbly;
he never said a word.
Like a lamb about to be slaughtered,
like a sheep about to be sheared,
he never said a word.
8He was arrested and sentenced and led off to die,
and no one cared about his fate.
He was put to death for the sins of our people.
9 #
1 Pet 2.22
He was placed in a grave with the wicked,
he was buried with the rich,
even though he had never committed a crime
or ever told a lie.”
10The LORD says,
“It was my will that he should suffer;
his death was a sacrifice to bring forgiveness.
And so he will see his descendants;
he will live a long life,
and through him my purpose will succeed.
11After a life of suffering, he will again have joy;
he will know that he did not suffer in vain.
My devoted servant, with whom I am pleased,
will bear the punishment of many
and for his sake I will forgive them.
12 #
Mk 15.27; Lk 22.37 And so I will give him a place of honour,
a place among the great and powerful.
He willingly gave his life
and shared the fate of evil men.
He took the place of many sinners
and prayed that they might be forgiven.”#53.12 prayed that they might be forgiven; or suffered the punishment they deserved.
