The burial of Jesus is read as fulfilling Isaiah 53:9
Historic Christian readingMedium confidenceIsaiah's servant is assigned a grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death; Christians have long read Jesus' burial in the tomb of the rich Joseph of Arimathea as this. No New Testament text cites the verse for the burial, so it is labeled a historic reading.
Evidence:Other responsible views
- Servant song as a whole: The New Testament applies Isaiah 53 to Jesus explicitly (Luke 22:37, Acts 8:32-35, 1 Peter 2:22-25) without singling out verse 9 for the burial; some readers see the burial detail as part of that larger fulfillment rather than a separate one.
