Isaiah 53
53
1 # Cited John 12:38; Rom. 10:16 Who has believed what he has heard from us?#53:1 Or Who has believed what we have heard?
And to whom has #See ch. 51:9the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2For he grew up before him like a young plant,
# ch. 11:1 and like a root out of dry ground;
# [ch. 52:14] he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 # ch. 49:7; [Ps. 22:6; Mark 9:12] He was despised and rejected#53:3 Or forsaken by men,
a man of sorrows#53:3 Or pains; also verse 4 and acquainted with#53:3 Or and knowing grief;#53:3 Or sickness; also verse 4
and as one from whom men hide their faces#53:3 Or as one who hides his face from us
he was despised, and #[John 1:10, 11]we esteemed him not.
4 # [Matt. 8:17] Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
#
Ps. 69:26
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 # [Rom. 4:25] But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
# Cited 1 Pet. 2:24 and with his wounds we are healed.
6 # Cited 1 Pet. 2:25; [Jer. 50:6, 17] All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
#
2 Cor. 5:21; [ver. 10; Col. 2:14] and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
#
Matt. 26:63; Mark 14:61; John 19:9; 1 Pet. 2:23 yet he opened not his mouth;
# Cited Acts 8:32 like a #[Jer. 11:19]lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, #ch. 57:1who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9And they made his grave with the wicked
#
Matt. 27:57, 60 and with a rich man in his death,
although #Cited 1 Pet. 2:22; [Heb. 4:15; 1 John 3:5]he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10Yet #[ver. 4] it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;#53:10 Or he has made him sick
# [ver. 6] when his soul makes#53:10 Or when you make his soul an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
# [ch. 44:28] the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see#53:11 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll he shall see light and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall #[1 John 2:1] the righteous one, my servant,
#
Acts 13:39; Rom. 5:18, 19 make many to be accounted righteous,
# [ver. 5] and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 # ch. 52:13; [Phil. 2:9] Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,#53:12 Or with the great
# [Col. 2:15] and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,#53:12 Or with the numerous
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
# ver. 6, 8, 10 yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53
53
1 Who has believed our message,
and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2For#Or “And” he went#Or “grew” up like a shoot before him,
and like a root from dry ground.
He had no form and no majesty that#Or “and” we should see him,
and no appearance that#Or “and” we should take pleasure in him.
3He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of suffering, and acquainted with#Or “knowledgeable of” sickness,
and like one from whom others hide their faces,#Literally “hiding of face from him” he was despised,
and we did not hold him in high regard.
4However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses,
and he carried our pain,
yet#Or “and” we ourselves assumed him stricken,
struck down by God and afflicted.
5But#Or “And” he was pierced#Or “wounded” because of our transgressions,
crushed because of our iniquities;
the chastisement for#Or “of” our peace#Or “healing” was upon him,
and by his wounds#Hebrew “wound” we were healed.#Literally “it was healed for us”
6All of us have wandered about like sheep;
we each have turned to his own way;
and Yahweh let fall on him
the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet#Or “and” he did not open his mouth;
he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter,
and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers,
so#Or “and” he did not open his mouth.
8He was taken by restraint of justice,
and who concerned himself with his generation?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.
9He made#Or “gave” his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10Yet#Or “And” Yahweh was pleased to crush him;
he made him sick.#Literally “he made sick”
If she#Or “you” places#Or “makes” his life a guilt offering,#Or “compensation”
he will see offspring.
He will prolong days,
and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.
11From the trouble of his life#Or “soul” he will see;#Dead Sea Scrolls add “light”
he will be satisfied.
In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous,#Or “right”
and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.
12Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many,#Or “great”
and with the strong ones he will divide bounty,
because#Literally “Instead of that” he poured his life out to death
and was counted with the transgressors;
and#Or “yet” he was the one who bore the sin of many
and will intercede for the transgressors.
