| Summary: | New Testament authors use mostly the Greek version of Isaiah 52–53 for various purposes. The perspective on Jesus’ ministry is broad. The few passages that address the meaning of his death envisage mainly the apotropaic function or build on the humiliation-exaltation scheme. In this early stage of reception, the relevant passages from Isa 53 are not quoted. This is partly due to the particularities of the LXX-translation, which eliminates a number of details that could sustain the idea of vicarious suffering and atonement. Beside the Christological-soteriological inter¬pretation of Jesus’ ministry and/or suffering, the quotes serve ethical-paraenetical purposes or address the scope and reception of the gospel. |
