Exactly which part of this prophecy describes Jesus?

Question

I'm looking for evidence that Jesus was rejected or despised by men.

From what I could tell of the NT he was accepted and loved by everyone except the Pharises. He always seemed happy and never grieved, except when he found out God wanted to kill him of course....

ISAIAH Chapter 53 - The Arm of the Lord is revealed

1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Answer 1

Isaiah does not describ the mythical Jesus. No where in the Gospels does it say Jesus suffered through out his life also, never does it speak of Jesus as being ugly. Also those that say this condition describs Jesus once on the cross, your really reaching for a connection which isn't there.
Kill your God, free your mind.

-Amen

2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted

this is Jesus

Answer 3

The Lord's chosen people (the Jews), of which Isaiah was speaking, rejected Him as the Messiah. They rejected Him as a prophet ("Isn't this the carpenter's son?" "What good can come of Nazareth?") He was spit upon and tortured to death. I'd say that qualifies as "despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief..." Additionally, Christians believe that Jesus suffered for the sins of all mankind in the Garden of Gethsemane and again on the cross at Golgotha. For all these well-documented reasons, this scripture is clearly speaking of the Jewish Messiah, and that Messiah is clearly Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

When Jesus appeared on the scene he wasn't the only possible 'messiah' running around. While the majority of the new testament does speak of him being loved and respected it wasn't only the pharisees and saducees that despised him. The Romans, despite their reputation for cruelty at times, did not crucify people on whims. Another thing to note is that Jesus did most of his teaching well away from townships and the like, maybe indicating those within the townships were non-receptive to his message, or possible even insulted by it.
Afterall he was teaching a path that rejected alot of the principles and traditions of the Hebrew/Jewish way of life.

Answer 5

You've done a good job finding Isaiah 53. Now read the story of the crucifixion, or the chapter leading up to that. You'll find the crowds were all yelling "Crucify him!" And around the cross there were very few followers!
He didn't have more than 500 followers anyway.
The crucifixion was the ultimate rejection.
Both the pharisees and the saducees cooperated in engineering his crucifixion. But the people went along with it.

Answer 6

God did not want Jesus killed. What kind of a monster do you think God is? Jesus died because the religious leaders of His time believed He was a danger to the faith. He broke the religious laws and was becoming too popular.
Jesus did not have to die on the cross to save us. His birth and life saved us. God becoming one like us saved us. Jesus' whole life was His sacrifice.
The story of Adam and Eve is a myth. Heaven's gates were never closed. God never demanded human sacrifice. God made that clear with Abraham when God told Abraham not to sacrifice his son.

Answer 7

Christ could pass through a crowd without being noticed, except by those who were spritually in tune.

The Jews rejected Him simply because He didn't fit the blue print they held for a Messiah, and He gave them truths they didn't want to hear.

When He returns, as He most certainly will, only those who are in tune with that same spirit will recognise Him for who He really is.

Answer 8

Jesus is the "root of jesse" it speaks of in Isaiah.
Isaiah 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.

He is the root it speaks of, The entire passage is about Him, how many will despise him and not desire him..

Answer 9

ALL OF IT.

(Isaiah 53:1) These words of Isaiah raise intriguing questions: Will this prophecy be fulfilled? Will “the arm of Jehovah,” representing his ability to exert power, reveal itself and make these words come true?

The answer is unquestionably yes! In his letter to the Romans, Paul quotes Isaiah’s words to show that the prophecy heard and recorded by Isaiah came true in Jesus. The glorification of Jesus after his sufferings on earth was good news. “Nevertheless,” says Paul with reference to the unbelieving Jews, “they did not all obey the good news. For Isaiah says: ‘Jehovah, who put faith in the thing heard from us?’ So faith follows the thing heard. In turn the thing heard is through the word about Christ.” (Romans 10:16, 17) Sadly, though, few in Paul’s day put faith in the good news about God’s Servant. Why?

The prophecy next explains to the Israelites the reasons for the questions recorded in verse 1, and in so doing, sheds light on why many will not accept the Messiah: (Isaiah 53:2) Here we see the backdrop against which the Messiah is to enter the earthly scene. He is to have a lowly start, and to observers he will appear unlikely to amount to anything. Moreover, he is to be like a mere twig, a tender sapling, that grows on the trunk or branch of a tree. He is also to be like a water-dependent root in dry, unpromising soil. And he is not to come with regal pomp and splendors—no robes of royalty nor any sparkling diadems. Instead, his start is to be humble and unpretentious.

Isaiah now begins to describe in detail how the Messiah will be viewed and treated: (Isaiah 53:3) Certain that his words will come true, Isaiah writes in the past tense, as if they had already been fulfilled. Was Jesus Christ really despised and avoided by men? Indeed, he was! Self-righteous religious leaders and their followers viewed him as the vilest of humans. They called him a friend of tax collectors and harlots. (Luke 7:34, 37-39) They spit in his face. They hit him with their fists and reviled him. They sneered and jeered at him. (Matthew 26:67) Influenced by these enemies of truth, Jesus’ “own people did not take him in.”—John 1:10, 11.

As a perfect man, Jesus did not get sick. Yet, he was “a man meant for pains and for having acquaintance with sickness.” Such pains and sicknesses were not his own. Jesus came from heaven into a sick world. He lived amid suffering and pain, but he did not shun those who were ailing, either physically or spiritually. Like a caring physician, he became intimately acquainted with the suffering of those around him. Moreover, he was able to do what no ordinary human physician can do.—Luke 5:27-32.

Nevertheless, Jesus’ enemies viewed him as the ailing one and refused to look upon him with favor. His face was ‘concealed’ from view but not because he hid his face from others. In rendering Isaiah 53:3, The New English Bible uses the phrase “a thing from which men turn away their eyes.” Jesus’ opposers found him so revolting that they, in effect, turned away from him as if he were too loathsome to look upon. They reckoned his worth at no more than the price of a slave. (Exodus 21:32; Matthew 26:14-16) They had less esteem for him than for the murderer Barabbas. (Luke 23:18-25) What more could they have done to demonstrate their low opinion of Jesus?

Why did the Messiah have to suffer and die? Isaiah explains: in Isaiah 53:4-6. The Messiah carried the sicknesses of others and bore their pains. He lifted up their burdens, so to speak, placed them on his own shoulders, and carried them. And since sickness and pain are consequences of mankind’s sinful state, the Messiah carried the sins of others. Many did not understand the reason for his suffering and believed that God was punishing him, plaguing him with a loathsome disease. The Messiah’s suffering culminated in his being pierced, crushed, and wounded—strong words that denote a violent and painful death. But his death has atoning power; it provides the basis for recovering those who wander about in error and sin, helping them to find peace with God.

How did Jesus bear the suffering of others? The Gospel of Matthew, quoting Isaiah 53:4, says: “People brought him many demon-possessed persons; and he expelled the spirits with a word, and he cured all who were faring badly; that there might be fulfilled what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He himself took our sicknesses and carried our diseases.’” (Matthew 8:16, 17) By curing those who came to him with various diseases, Jesus, in effect, took their suffering upon himself. And such healings drew on his vitality. (Luke 8:43-48) His ability to heal all kinds of ailments—physical and spiritual—proved that he was empowered to cleanse people from sin.—Matthew 9:2-8.

Yet, to many it seemed that Jesus was “plagued” by God. After all, he suffered at the instigation of respected religious leaders. Remember, though, that he did not suffer on account of any sins of his own. “Christ suffered for you,” says Peter, “leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely.
