Isaiah53

153:1 Cited John 12:38; Rom. 10:16Who has believed what he has heard from us?53:1 Or Who has believed what we have heard?
And to whom has 53:1 See ch. 51:9the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2For he grew up before him like a young plant,
53:2 ch. 11:1and like a root out of dry ground;
53:2 [ch. 52:14]he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
353:3 ch. 49:7; [Ps. 22:6; Mark 9:12] He was despised and rejected53:3 Or forsaken by men,
a man of sorrows53:3 Or pains; also verse 4 and acquainted with53:3 Or and knowing grief;53:3 Or sickness; also verse 4
and as one from whom men hide their faces53:3 Or as one who hides his face from us
he was despised, and 53:3 [John 1:10, 11]we esteemed him not.

453:4 [Matt. 8:17] Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
53:4 Ps. 69:26smitten by God, and afflicted.
553:5 [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,
53:5 Cited 1 Pet. 2:24and with his wounds we are healed.
653:6 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;
53:6 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,
53:7 Matt. 26:63; Mark 14:61; John 19:9; 1 Pet. 2:23yet he opened not his mouth;
53:7 Cited Acts 8:32like a 53:7 [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, 53:8 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
53:9 Matt. 27:57, 60and with a rich man in his death,
although53:9 Or because53:9 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 53:10 [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
53:10 [ver. 6] when his soul makes53:10 Or when you make his soul an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
53:10 [ch. 44:28]the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see53:11 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll he shall see light and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall 53:11 [1 John 2:1] the righteous one, my servant,
53:11 Acts 13:39; Rom. 5:18, 19make many to be accounted righteous,
53:11 [ver. 5]and he shall bear their iniquities.
1253:12 ch. 52:13; [Phil. 2:9] Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,53:12 Or with the great
53:12 [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;
53:12 ver. 6, 8, 10yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
