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.

Isaiah, in chapters 52-53 wrote about the suffering and death of Jehovah's servant to redeem mankind and the glory that will follow. In Isaiah 52:14,15 he wrote: "Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men), so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand." Christians believe this suffering servant to be Jesus, the account of the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion in Acts 8:26-40 also confirms this view. Many non-Christians claim this suffering servant to be Israel, which cannot be, simply because in Isaiah 53:8 Israel and the suffering servant are in the same sentence "for the transgression of my people was he stricken"
