The Suffering Servant
In one of the most moving passages of prophecy, Isaiah describes the suffering servant who bears the sins of many—a foretaste of the redemptive work to come.

Within the pages of Isaiah, the figure of the suffering servant emerges—a person who would bear the iniquities of the people and be wounded for their transgressions. This servant, though despised and rejected, would ultimately bring healing and restoration.
Christians see in this prophecy a clear foreshadowing of Jesus’ passion and sacrifice, while in Jewish tradition it speaks to the mysterious nature of redemptive suffering.
