1 Who has believed what we have heard? 53:1 Or believed our report
And to whom has the arm of the Lord 53:1 Is 30:30; 40:10; 48:14; 51:9; 52:10; Lk 1:51; Ac 13:17 been revealed? 53:1 Jn 12:38; Rm 10:16
2 He grew up before him like a young plant 53:2 Is 11:1
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at him,
no appearance that we should desire him. 53:2 Is 52:14
3 He was despised and rejected by men, 53:3 Ps 22:6; Is 49:7; Lk 18:31–33
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was. 53:3 Mk 8:31; Jn 1:10–11; Heb 4:15
He was like someone people turned away from; 53:3 Lit And like a hiding of faces from him
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.
4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains; 53:4 Mt 8:17; 1Pt 2:21
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God, 53:4 Ps 69:26 and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion, 53:5 Is 53:8; Rm 4:25; 1Co 15:3; Heb 9:28
crushed because of our iniquities; 53:5 Is 1:4
punishment 53:5 Jr 2:30; Zph 3:2; Heb 5:8 for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds. 53:5–6 1Pt 2:24–25
