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. However, Christians have seen the Servant Songs as prophecies of Jesus.

The Apostle Paul wrote 2/3 of the New Testament. -------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, Paul wrote more books than anyone, taking up 2/3 of the books, but as far as actual writing, literature, words, sentences, etc. Luke, who only wrote two books (Luke and Acts) "wrote" more than than Paul. It's like saying I wrote seven 100 page books, when you wrote one book that has 800 pages, same size font, same size page etc. All in all, Paul wrote 25% and Luke wrote 27% of the New Testament. Books by Paul: Romans 1st and 2nd Corinthians Galations Ephesians Philipians Colosians 1st and 2nd Thessalonians 1st and 2nd Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews (the author of Hebrews is not identified) Luke wrote the book of Luke and Acts.

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.

Why does the bible state that Jesus had a marred face?

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"
