NASB | Isaiah 53:10 ¶ But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 53:10 ¶ Yet the LORD was willing To crush Him, causing Him to suffer; If He would give Himself as a guilt offering [an atonement for sin], He shall see His [spiritual] offspring, He shall prolong His days, And the will (good pleasure) of the LORD shall succeed and prosper in His hand. |
Bible Question: In Mark 8 Jesus rejects Peter's suggestion that he should avoid going to the cross as satanic. But in John13 we are told that it was satan who put it into the heart of Judas to betray Jesus. Did Satan want Jesus to go to the cross or not? |
Bible Answer: Hi Apollos, Remember that as well as a particular designation for the devil, "satan" is also a word from the Hebrew meaning "adversary", and is used as such in specific contexts that are clearly not the devil. So when Jesus said this to Peter, He could have simply been refering to Peters adversarial stance to Jesus' mission, and not, in fact, calling Peter "Satan", as in "the devil". If we translate the entire verse instead of leaving just one word transliterated, we would read, "get thee behind me, adversary!" I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
