Isaiah Prophecy of Jesus Christ

Written about 700 years BC, Isaiah 53 prophesies the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ...

Isaiah 53

1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the
arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form
nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is
no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it
were our faces from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of
God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are
healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned
every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on
him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he
opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and
who shall declare his generation? for he was cut
off out of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with
the rich in his death; because he had done no
violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath
put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an
offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall
prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall
prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and
shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my
righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear
their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the
great, and he shall divide the spoil with the
strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto
death: and he was numbered with the transgressors;
and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession
for the transgressors.
