How does Isaiah predict the role of the suffering servant?
AnswerThe Servant Songs are found in Isaiah 42:1-4, 49:1-6,50:4-11, 52:13-53:12. In these passages, God is said to promise to choose a servant who will teach his true way to the nations. In some verses, the servant appears to be a person, in others a group, in some a real figure and in others imaginary. The only time the 'servant' is named, the reference is to Israel. It is even possible that Second Isaiah is, in places, putting himself up as the servant.Christians have seen the Servant Songs as prophecies of Jesus.
Which Old Testament prophet wrote about the suffering servant?
A:References to the suffering servant are found in Isaiah 42:1-4, 49:1-6,50:4-11, 52:13-53:12, however they were not written by Isaiah, son of Amoz, the earlier prophet after whom the book is named. Chapters 40-55 of the Book of Isaiah record the words of an anonymous sixth century BCE prophet living in exile in Babylon, now known as Second Isaiah. In these passages, sometimes called the Servant Songs, God promises to choose a servant who will teach his true way to the nations. In some verses, the servant appears to be a person, in others a group, in some a real figure and in others imaginary. The only time the 'servant' is named, the reference is to Israel.

Who was considered a lowly Servant in the Bible?
A:A focus of dispute between Jews and Christians lies in a series of verses known as the Servant Songs (Isaiah 42:1-4, 49:1-6,50:4-11, 52:13-53:12). In these passages, God promises to choose a servant who will teach his true way to the nations. In some verses, the servant appears to be a person, in others a group, in some a real figure and in others imaginary.The only time the 'servant' is named, the reference is to Israel. However, Christians have seen the Servant Songs as prophecies of Jesus.
Who is God's suffering servant?
AnswerJesus is never called a suffering servant in the Bible. However, there are several obscure references to suffering servants in the Book of Isaiah. Although these could not really be about Jesus, there are several places in the New Tesatament where the authors allude to Isaiah as if to suggest that the "Suffering Servant" passages could be read as if applying to Jesus.
How many times is Jesus mentioned in the Book of Isaiah?
AnswerStrictly speaking, the Book of Isaiah never refers to Jesus. It was written long before the time of Jesus, about events current at that time. However, there is a trick that Burton L. Mack sees happen all the time, in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont. At first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction or the answer one hopes to find in the Bible, but with a little ingenuity, one can set up new assumptions or other emphases and make the answer come out right. This trick allows us to discover that Isaiah refers to Jesus as many times as we would like.One such reference is the alleged prophecy to the virgin birth, in Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14. Here, Isaiah prophesied that 'the young woman' would conceive and bear a child, whose name would be Immanuel. This prophecy came true just a few verses later in chapter 8. However, the early Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, mistranslated this to say that a virgin would conceive and bear a child. Centuries later, the author of the Gospel of Matthew would rely on this mistranslation to show that it was prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin. When this error was pointed out to the early Christians, they insisted that the Jews had altered their sacred texts so as to undermine the Christian Gospel.Another lies in a series of verses known as the Servant Songs (Isaiah 42:1-4, 49:1-6,50:4-11, 52:13-53:12). In these passages, God promises to choose a servant who will teach his true way to the nations. In some verses, the servant appears to be a person, in others a group, in some a real figure and in others imaginary. The only time the 'servant' is named, the reference is to Israel. It is even possible that Second Isaiah is, in places, putting himself up as the servant. However, Christians have seen the Servant Songs as prophecies of Jesus.
Which Old Testament books are quoted most in the New Testament?
A:A New Testament favourite is the Old Testament Book of Isaiah. Matthew's Gospel refers to Isaiah 7:14 as evidence that the virginity of Mary had been prophesied. However, this is not a direct reference to the Hebrew Book of Isaiah but to the book that forms part of the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. Isaiah 7:14 supposedly said that a virgin would bear a child but the original Hebrew book actually says, "the young woman," and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The author of Matthew relied on this mistranslation in the Septuagint to portray this passage as prophesying the birth of Jesus. The Book of Isaiah also contains several passages with a 'servant' theme, known as the Servant Songs, and these are quoted in the New Testament as possible references to Jesus. Other books quoted on the New Testament include Genesis, Exodus and Malachi.
Is Isaiah chapter 53 the most prophetic chapter in the Bible?
AnswerNo, biblical scholars do not see Isaiah chapter 53 as prophetic. They say it was written in Babylon by an anonymous author now known as Second Isaiah, whose work was later added to the older Book of Isaiah. Chapter 13 should be read as a continuation from verses 52:13-15, in which God speaks of his suffering servant. The Book of Isaiah originally did not have chapter breaks, and the decision to place the break after 52:15 was made by the Christian Church because it obscured the preceding text.In fact, this is called the fourth Servant Song. It is unclear whether, in this case, the author is spaking of one person or of the nation of Israel, but 52:14 talks of him in the same time period as the author, not as a person of the distant future. Read with the objective eye of a scholar, it can be seen that the author was talking about the troubles the people had sufferred in Babylon and an oracle for their future.However, Christian tradition has made this a prophecy of Jesus. Although that was not the intention of the author, this view would make Isaiah 53 a highly prophetic chapter.

What is the message from Isaiah 53 4-12?
AnswerTo understand Isaiah chapter 53, it should be read as a continuation from verses 52:13-15, in which God speaks of his suffering servant. Verse 52:14 talks of the 'Servant' in the same time period as the author, not as a person of the distant future, and verses 53:4-12 form part of what is now called the fourth Servant Song. Read with the objective eye of a scholar, it can be seen that the author was talking about the troubles the people had sufferred in Babylon and an oracle for their future. In the Servant Songs, it is sometimes unclear whether the author is speaking of one person or of the nation of the Jews. In this case, Second Isaiah was probably making an analogy for himself as the Suffering Servant. The Servant of God has been wounded (probably only metaphorically) for the transgressions of the Jews and bruised for their iniquities (verse 5) but the people, like sheep, have gone astray so the Lord has laid on him the iniquities of all the people (verse 6). He was oppressed and brought as a lamb to the slaughter (to Babylon). But he shall see his own children ('seed') and prolong his days - a reference to the expectation that the Jews will soon be returning to Judah where he can live out the remainder of his life in peace.Christian tradition has made this a prophecy of Jesus. The Book of Isaiah originally did not have chapter breaks, and the decision to place the break after 52:15 was made by the Christian Church because it obscured the preceding text which provided context for the passage and made it more difficult to re-interpret as a prophecy about Jesus.
How is the life of Jesus related to the texts of the Old Testament?
The authors of the Old Testament knew nothing of Jesus, and never mentioned him either directly, by name, or indirectly. Nevertheless, pious Christians do see the life of Jesus as a fulfilment of the Old Testament.The authors of the New Testament, well versed in the Old Testament, also wrote about Jesus in the same terms. A well known example is in Matthew's Gospel, which relies on Isaiah 7:14 as evidence that the virginity of Mary had been prophesied. Isaiah 7:14, in the original Hebrew, actually says, "the young woman", and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The problem arose in Matthew's reliance on a mistranslation in the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures.Some see Isaiah chapter 53 as a prophecy of the crucifixion, because it mentions death and suffering, although it was written about a "suffering servant" before and after the time of writing and does not mention Jesus or the crucifixion. In fact, it can not be a reference to Jesus, because verse 10 talks about the servant seeing his children, and Jesus is believed not to have had children. There are several related passages, known as "Servant Songs", where Isaiah was really talking about events of his time, but pious Christians see as predictions of events in the life of Jesus.
