Bible Question: I wanted to know who the bible was talking about in Isaih 53. It sounds like they are talking about Jesus but they can't be. |
Bible Answer: Hello eacusa, The question you're asking is rooted in "Who is God's suffering Servant?". The prevailing rabbinic (Jewish) interpretation of Isaiah 53 ascribes the “servant” to the nation of Israel. However, evangelical (Orthodox) Christianity, generally holds it to picture the Messiah's (Jesus) vicarious sufferings. Of verse 2, the Commentary Critical notes, "before him— before Jehovah. Though unknown to the world (Jn 1:11), Messiah was observed by God, who ordered the most minute circumstances attending His growth." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
