ISB ~ Luke 22 v37

reckoned with transgressors:Jesus views his ensuing Passion through the lens of OT prophecy.

• In particular, he excerpts from Isaiah’s vision of the Suffering Servant (Is 53:12). This figure represents the rejected Messiah, who is despised (53:3), wounded (53:5), and struck down (53:8). He is even numbered among the sinners, yet he is innocent and offers himself as a sacrifice for the sins of others (53:10-12). The NT often depicts Jesus as this Suffering Servant (Mt 8:17; Acts 8:32-35; 1 Pet 2:24-25; CCC 601, 713).
