Isaiah 53 is the fifty-third chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

The verse from Isaiah 53:5 has traditionally been understood by many Christians to speak of Jesus as the Messiah. [34] The claim frequently advanced by Christian apologists is that the noted Jewish commentator, Rashi (1040 CE – 1105 CE), was the first to identify the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 with the nation of Israel.

Jesus came to be called "Jesus Christ" (meaning "Jesus the Khristós", i.e. "Jesus the Messiah" or "Jesus the Anointed") by Christians, who believe that his crucifixion and resurrection fulfill the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament, especially the prophecies outlined in Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22.

Isaiah 53:3 Isaiah 50:6: Songs of the suffering servant 4, 3: 24 / 21: Surely, He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: Chorus: Isaiah 53:4–5: Man of Sorrows, 4 continued 25 / 22: And with His stripes we are healed: Chorus: Isaiah 53:5: 26 / 23: All we like sheep, have gone astray: Chorus: Isaiah 53:6: 27 / 24: All they that see Him ...
Acts 8:32-33 is a direct quote of Isaiah 53:7-8. Dannyza1981's reference to the opinion of a well-known Christian apostate like Origen about Isaiah 53 is a straw-man argument and thus without merit; it is comparable to relying upon a mere rabbi's opinion for support and ignoring the published, contradictory opinion of Moses.
