The 'Servant Songs' in Isaiah 42, 49, 50, and 52–53 describe a suffering servant who bears the sins of many and is exalted after suffering. Christians interpret these passages as prophecies fulfilled in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53 in particular is widely cited in the New Testament in reference to Christ's atoning work.
