Notes

Isaiah 53:8

By oppression and judgment: The servant will not receive legal protection or a proper defense.
cut off from the land of the living: To die in midlife was understood to be God’s judgment.

Isaiah 53:7–8

The Ethiopian eunuch was reading this passage when Philip met him (see Acts 8:32–33).

Isaiah 52:13–53:12

This is the fourth of four passages that speak about the promised servant (see study note on Isaiah 42:1–4). The Hebrew poem is carefully constructed in five three-line stanzas.It begins with the servant’s exaltation (52:13), proceeds to his humiliation (52:14–53:9), and ends with his exaltation (53:10–12).

The faithful servant’s suffering would bring reconciliation between God and humans. The Lord Jesus perfectly fulfilled this prophecy (see Isaiah 40; Matthew 8:17; Acts 8:30–35; Romans 10:15–17; 15:21; 1 Peter 2:24–25).
