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
The Suffering Servant
1Who has believed [confidently trusted in, relied on, and adhered to] our message [of salvation]?
And to whom [if not us] has the arm and infinite power of the Lord been revealed?
2For He [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender shoot (plant),
And like a root out of dry ground;
He has no stately form or majestic splendor
That we would look at Him,
Nor [handsome] appearance that we would #Lit take pleasure in.be attracted to Him.
3He was despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and pain and acquainted with grief;
And like One from whom men hide their faces
He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or esteem Him.
4But [in fact] He has borne our griefs,
And He has carried our sorrows and pains;
Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken,
Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him].
5But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];
The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him,
And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.
6All of us like sheep have gone astray,
We have turned, each one, to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]
To fall on Him [instead of us].
7He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth [to complain or defend Himself];
Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before her shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8 # Or Due to. After oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And #Or who will explain to His generation.as for His generation [His contemporaries], who [among them] concerned himself with the fact
That He was cut off from the land of the living [by His death]
For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke [of death] was due?
9His grave was assigned with the wicked,
But He was with a rich man in His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10Yet the Lord was #Or pleased.willing
To crush Him, #Lit He made Him sick.causing Him to suffer;
If #Or His soul presents an offering.He would give Himself as a guilt offering [an atonement for sin],
He shall see His [spiritual] offspring,
He shall prolong His days,
And the will (good pleasure) of the Lord shall succeed and prosper in His hand.
11As a result of the #Lit trouble.anguish of His soul,
He shall see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge [of what He has accomplished] the Righteous One,
My Servant, shall justify the many [making them righteous—upright before God, in right standing with Him],
For He shall bear [the responsibility for] their sins.
12Therefore, I will divide and give Him a portion with the great [kings and rulers],
And He shall divide the spoils with the mighty,
Because He [willingly] poured out His life to death,
And was counted among the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore and took away the sin of many,
And interceded [with the Father] for the transgressors.
