Notes to Questions 38,47, 51, 61, 62, 65, 68:
Isaiah 52:13 and 53:12 are great Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. They depict a Servant of the Lord who is rejected by His own people, though without any sin on His part, and who suffers the penalty of death for their iniquities. The Jewish commentators have attempted to identify the “Servant” of Isaiah 52:13 as the Jewish people, who have suffered at the hands of other nations. But this interpretation cannot be valid for the following reasons:
(1) The “Servant” here depicted was not guilty of any violence or deceit. (See Isaiah 53:9.) This does not apply to the Jewish people.
(2) The “Servant” was wounded for the transgressions* of others. (See verses 4–6.) Israel’s sufferings were caused by her own sins, as Moses had warned. (See Leviticus 26:14–43.)
(3) By a personal knowledge of this “Servant” (who bore the iniquities of others upon Himself), many would be made righteous before God. This only comes through personal faith* in the Messiah. (See Romans 3:21-24.)
