Anchor Text: Isa 52:13-53:12 — The Suffering Servant
Significance: Mirrors Paul's earlier use of Isaiah 53:1 (in 10:16). There: Isaiah's lament over Israel's unbelief. Here: Nations who never heard will see and understand the exalted Servant. This drives Paul's mission to unreached peoples. The Servant brings light to nations (Isa 42:6; 49:6).
