Isaías 53

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 *See ch. 51:9the arm of the Lord been revealed?

2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,

*ch. 11:1and 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. 69:26smitten 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. 2:24and 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.

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,

*Matt. 26:63;Mark 14:61;John 19:9;1 Pet. 2:23yet he opened not his mouth;

*Cited Acts 8:32like 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.

8 By 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?

9 And they made his grave with the wicked

*Matt. 27:57,60and with a rich man in his death,

although*53:9 Or because*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.

10 Yet *[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.

11 Out 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. 5:18,19make 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, 10yet he bore the sin of many,

and makes intercession for the transgressors.
