Of the labour of his SOUL he seeth -- he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
READ Acts 8:26-39
Obviously, Isaiah the prophet was being read. This passage was in Isaiah, the 53rd chapter (verse or chapter divisions were still to come) area, or specifically the sacrificial "suffering servant" part. Philip in the New Testament identifies who this suffering servant was.
Read Acts 8: 34- 35: the eunuch answered Philip and said, "please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this ? Of himelf or someone else?" Philip, "beginning from this Scripture, he preached Jesus to him."
TWO POINTS: 1. THE "SUFFERING SERVANT"--JESUS CHRIST'S PHYSICAL BEING (BODY) PHYSICALLY LIVED AND PHYSICALLY DIED
(ISAIAH 53:1-6) For he grew up... as a root out of a dry ground... no form nor comeliness; and... no beauty that we should desire him.... despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn`t respect him.
|
Surely he has borne our infirmities, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions... bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed.
|
2. JESUS CHRIST HAS A SOUL WHICH IS SEPARATED FROM HIS BODY AT DEATH. HIS PHYSICAL DORMENT DEAD BODY WAS PUT IN THE RICH MAN (JOSEPH'S) TOMB--LAYING THERE FOR 3 DAYS. 3. JESUS CHRIST'S SOUL (LXX: ISAIAH 53:10 SOUL WENT TO A PLACE OF "HADES"
|
|
because Thou wilt not leave my SOUL to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Holy One to see corruption;
|
IN HADES JESUS CHRIST'S SOUL WENT THROUGH TERRIBLE SUFFERING FROM THE LORD.YAHWEH
ISAIAH. 53:10-11 "Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin....He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities."WEB
The efficacy(EFFECT) of suffering of Jesus Christ's soul enabled my righteous servant justify many --my or any believer's sin's penalty(my soul's death) transferred to Christ's soul's "offering for sin" --"the travail of his soul.".
SOUL Yuxh psuche IS USED 105 TIMES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
THIS IS SAME GREEK WORD USED IN GENESIS 2:7 (in Septuatpygint)
|
|
`And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the SOUL, but fear rather Him who is able both SOUL and body to destroy in gehenna
|
|
|
because Thou wilt not leave my SOUL to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption;
|
|
|
having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his SOUL was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
|
|
and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and SOUL, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;
|
|
let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a SOUL from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
|
|
|
receiving the end of your faith -- salvation of SOULs;
|
|
|
Your SOULs having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,
|
|
|
Beloved, I call upon [you], as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the SOUL,
|
|
|
for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your SOULs.

|
who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah -- an ark being preparing -- in which few, that is, eight SOULs, were saved through water;
|
|
|
so that also those suffering according to the will of god, as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own SOULs in good doing
|
|
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the SOULs of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that they held,
|
|
|
And the second messenger did pour out his vial to the sea, and there came blood as of [one] dead, and every living SOUL died in the sea.
|
|
|
and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and SOULs of men.

|
|
`And the fruits of the desire of thy SOUL did go away from thee, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.
|
|
|
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the SOULs of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;
|
|
|
|
|
and all, whatever ye may do -- out of SOUL work -- as to the Lord, and not to men
" for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes should not perish but have eternal life
IN ISAIAH 53 THE SCRIPTURE TELLS US HOW GOD GAVE HIS ONLY SON
ISAIAH. 53:10-11 "Yet it pleased Yahfyweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin....He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities."WEB
justify is an important word, because it takes account of your sin and judges it guilty and acquits it by payment.

ROMANS 5:1Being therefore justified by faith
(dikaiwqenteß oun ek pistewß).
First aorist passive participle of dikaiow, to set right and expressing antecedent action to the verb ecwmen. The oun refers to the preceding conclusive argument (chapters 1 to 4) that this is done by faith. Let us have peace with God (eirhnhn ecwmen proß ton qeon). This is the correct text beyond a doubt, the present active subjunctive, not ecomen (present active indicative) of the Textus Receptus which even the American Standard Bible accepts. It is curious how perverse many real scholars have been on this word and phrase here. Godet, for instance. Vincent says that "it is difficult if not impossible to explain it." One has only to observe the force of the tense to see Paul's meaning clearly. The mode is the volitive subjunctive and the present tense expresses linear action and so does not mean "make peace" as the ingressive aorist subjunctive eirhnhn scwmen would mean. A good example of scwmen occurs in Matthew 21:38 (scwmen thn klhronomian autou) where it means: "Let us get hold of his inheritance." Here eirhnhn ecwmen can only mean: "Let us enjoy peace with God" or "Let us retain peace with God." We have in Acts 9:31 eicen eirhnhn (imperfect and so linear), the church "enjoyed peace," not "made peace." The preceding justification (dikaiwqenteß) "made peace with God." Observe proß (face to face) with ton qeon and dia (intermediate agent) with tou kuriou.

JESUS' SOUL SUFFERED FOR YOUR SIN--THEREBY JUSTIFYING YOU
(11) He shall see of the travail . . .--Better, On account of the travail of his soul, he shall see, and be refreshed. We may find the truest explanation in the words, "To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). The refreshment after travail, because of the travail, was already present to the sufferer's consciousness.
By his knowledge . . .--The phrase admits of two meanings, objective and subjective: (1) by their knowledge of Him; or (2) by His own knowledge; and each expresses a truth. Men are saved by knowing Christ. To know Him and the Father is eternal life (John 17:3). On the other hand, the Christ Himself makes His knowledge of the Father the ground of His power to impart that knowledge to men, and so to justify and save them (John 17:25). Without that knowledge He could not have led them to know God as He knew. If we dare not say that the prophet distinctly contemplated both meanings, we may rejoice that he was guided to use a phrase which includes both. Isaiah 11:2 and Malachi 2:7 are in favour of (2).
For he shall bear.--The conjunction is not necessarily more than and.
The importance of the renewal of the assurance given in Isaiah 53:4 lies in its declaring the perpetuity of the atoning work.
The sacrifice of the Servant is "for ever" (Hebrews 10:12). He "ever liveth to make intercession for us" (Hebrews 7:25). He taketh away the sin of the world, through the ons of all duration (John 1:29).

Berean Study Bible
Christ's Perfect Sacrifice
(Psalm 147:1-20; Romans 3:1-8)
1The Law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2If
it could, would not the offerings have ceased?
For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all and
would no longer feel the guilt of their sins.
3Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins. 5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
but a body You prepared for me.
6In burnt offerings and sin offerings
You took no delight.
7Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll:
I have come to do Your will, O God.’”a
8In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are required by the Law). 9Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.”
He takes away the first to establish the second. 10And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.13Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet, 14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are sanctified.
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:
16“This is the covenant I will make with them
after those days, says the Lord.
I will put My Laws in their hearts
and inscribe them on their minds.”b
17Then he adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”
18And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.
A Call to Persevere
(Jude 1:17-23)
19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body , 21and since we have a high priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23Let us hold resolutely to the hope we confess, for He who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. 25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
26If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and raging fire that will consume all adversaries. 28Anyone who rejected the Law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,”d and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”e 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32Remember the early days that you were in the light, when you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated. 34You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.
35So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward. 36You need to persevere, so that after you have done God’s will, you will receive what He has promised. 37For,
“In just a very while little,
He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38But My righteous one will live by faith;
and if he shrinks back,
I will take no pleasure in him.”g
39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
