I've noticed that in the Book of Isaiah there are references to the Messiah scattered through out. Like chapters 4,6, 7, 9,11,40,41,42,49,50,53, and 56, so is it safe to assume that chapter 52 is not related to 53, thus making 53 a prophcy of how the Messiah will bring salvation to the world, using His blood for payment of the worlds sins,since there are prophcies and promises and warnings in between these stated chapters? And how do the leaders of your faith decide what is and isn't prophecies of the Messiah?

We read the context and depend on traditions.

chapters were created by Christian clergymen in the Middle ages.

so to say that their is a break in thought between chapter 53 and 52 in Isaiah is not true.

why not read it in context

also answer me one thing if Jesus fuffiled the "prophecy" in Issiah 53 then what about in Issiah 11

10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious. 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, [b] from Cush, [c] from Elam, from Babylonia, [d] from Hamath and from the islands of the sea.

12 He will raise a banner for the nations
and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.

hmmm looks like Jesus missed something...

I do not think it is a question of how Jews interpret this. I think it is a matter of how Christians have MIS-interpreted them.
