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.
Nevertheless, Burton L. Mack describes a trick that he sees happen all the time in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont. It can be used to make any Old Testament book say what you want it to say, so that Isaiah can been made to refer to Jesus, even though that does not appear to have been the intention of its authors. Mack says in Who Wrote the New Testament that 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 the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. This trick seems to come naturally when studying the Bible, and can be used to relate Isaiah 53:4-5 to the crucifixion 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.
