Isaiah 53

New King James Version

The Sin-Bearing Messiah

53 Who ^(A)has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
²For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no ^[a]form or ^[b]comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no ^[c]beauty that we should desire Him.
³^(B)He is despised and ^[d]rejected by men,
A Man of ^[e]sorrows and ^(C)acquainted with ^[f]grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and ^(D)we did not esteem Him.

⁴Surely ^(E)He has borne our ^[g]griefs
And carried our ^[h]sorrows;
Yet we ^[i]esteemed Him stricken,
^[j]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵But He was ^(F)wounded^[k] for our transgressions,
He was ^[l]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His ^(G)stripes^[m] we are healed.
⁶All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord ^[n]has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

⁷He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet ^(H)He opened not His mouth;
^(I)He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
⁸He was ^(J)taken from ^[o]prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For ^(K)He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
⁹^(L)And ^[p]they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any ^(M)deceit in His mouth.

¹⁰Yet it pleased the Lord to ^[q]bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul ^(N)an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
¹¹^[r]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge ^(O)My righteous ^(P)Servant shall ^(Q)justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
¹²^(R)Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
^(S)And He shall divide the ^[s]spoil with the strong,
Because He ^(T)poured out His soul unto death,
And He was ^(U)numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And ^(V)made intercession for the transgressors.

New King James Version

From Suffering to Glory

¹⁸For I consider that ^(A)the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. ¹⁹For ^(B)the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. ²⁰For ^(C)the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; ²¹because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of ^[a]corruption into the glorious ^(D)liberty of the children of God. ²²For we know that the whole creation ^(E)groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. ²³Not only that, but we also who have ^(F)the firstfruits of the Spirit, ^(G)even we ourselves groan ^(H)within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the ^(I)redemption of our body. ²⁴For we were saved in this hope, but ^(J)hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? ²⁵But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

²⁶Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For ^(K)we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but ^(L)the Spirit Himself makes intercession ^[b]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ²⁷Now ^(M)He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints ^(N)according to the will of God.

²⁸And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those ^(O)who are the called according to His purpose. ²⁹For whom ^(P)He foreknew, ^(Q)He also predestined ^(R)to be conformed to the image of His Son, ^(S)that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰Moreover whom He predestined, these He also ^(T)called; whom He called, these He also ^(U)justified; and whom He justified, these He also ^(V)glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

³¹What then shall we say to these things? ^(W)If God is for us, who can be against us? ³²^(X)He who did not spare His own Son, but ^(Y)delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? ³³Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? ^(Z)It is God who justifies. ³⁴^(AA)Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, ^(AB)who is even at the right hand of God, ^(AC)who also makes intercession for us. ³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶As it is written:

^(AD)“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

³⁷^(AE)Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. ³⁸For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor ^(AF)principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, ³⁹nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
