Scripture spotlight
Isaiah 53:1-6
bible
1 Who has believed our message? and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? 2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn't respect him. 4 Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
The host cited Isaiah's suffering-servant passage to argue that the prophets foretold a Messiah who would be pierced, bear sins, and suffer on behalf of others, directly contradicting the Quran's denial of crucifixion and atonement.
Read at length to argue that the Old Testament prophesied Jesus' suffering, piercing, and atoning death long before the crucifixion.
