Isaiah 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.

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.

Isaiah 53
53
1Who can believe what we have heard,
and for whose sake has the LORD’s arm#53.1 Or power been revealed?
2He grew up like a young plant before us,#53.2 Or him
like a root from dry ground.
He possessed no splendid form for us to see,
no desirable appearance.
3He was despised and avoided by others;
a man who suffered, who knew sickness well.
Like someone from whom people hid their faces,
he was despised, and we didn’t think about him.
4It was certainly our sickness that he carried,
and our sufferings that he bore,
but we thought him afflicted,
struck down by God and tormented.
5He was pierced because of our rebellions
and crushed because of our crimes.
He bore the punishment that made us whole;
by his wounds we are healed.
6Like sheep we had all wandered away,
each going its own way,
but the LORD let fall on him all our crimes.
7He was oppressed and tormented,
but didn’t open his mouth.
Like a lamb being brought to slaughter,
like a ewe silent before her shearers,
he didn’t open his mouth.
8Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away,
and his fate—who will think about it?
He was eliminated from the land of the living,
struck dead because of my people’s rebellion.
9His grave was among the wicked,
his tomb with evildoers,#53.9 Cf Tg; MT and with a rich one in his deaths
though he had done no violence,
and had spoken nothing false.
10But the LORD wanted to crush him
and to make him suffer.
If his life is offered#53.10 Or if you place his life as restitution,
he will see his offspring; he will enjoy long life.
The LORD’s plans will come to fruition through him.
11After his deep anguish he will see light,#53.11 DSS (1QIsaa); MT lacks light. and he will be satisfied.
Through his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant,
will make many righteous,
and will bear their guilt.
12Therefore, I will give him a share with the great,
and he will divide the spoil with the strong,
in return for exposing his life to death
and being numbered with rebels,
though he carried the sin of many
and pleaded on behalf of those who rebelled.
