Isaiah 52:13 - 57:21

IsaiahSteve Gregg
Isaiah 52:13-57:21 is a significant part of the Bible as it contains the defining verse of Jesus' ministry: "He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him". In this section of the book of Isaiah, the prophecy of the servant songs is introduced, which speaks of a servant of God who will take on the sorrows and griefs of humanity. Isaiah is also the most quoted prophet in the New Testament, with his words being mentioned twice as often as any other prophet's.
