Messianic Texts in the Prophets: Isaiah 53:9 (8^th c. BC)

No Violence לֹא־חָמָ֣ס (lō chāmās)  

No Deceit לֹ֥א מִרְמָ֖ה  (lō mirmāh)

“His grave was assigned with wicked men, 

yet He was with a rich man in His death, 

because He had done no violence, 

nor was there any deceit in His mouth” 

(Isa. 53:9).

וַיִּתֵּ֤ן אֶת־רְשָׁעִים֙ קִבְר֔וֹ וְאֶת־עָשִׁ֖יר בְּמֹתָ֑יו עַ֚ל לֹא־חָמָ֣ס עָשָׂ֔ה וְלֹ֥א מִרְמָ֖ה בְּפִֽיו׃

“Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break and a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice” (Isa. 42:1-3).

“When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away” (Matt. 27:57-60).

“For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed” (1Pet. 2:21-24).

(Isa. 42:1 (BHS‏ הֵ֤ן עַבְדִּי֙ אֶתְמָךְ־בּ֔וֹ בְּחִירִ֖י רָצְתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י נָתַ֤תִּי רוּחִי֙ עָלָ֔יו מִשְׁפָּ֖ט לַגּוֹיִ֥ם יוֹצִֽיא׃ ‎2‏ לֹ֥א יִצְעַ֖ק וְלֹ֣א יִשָּׂ֑א וְלֹֽא־יַשְׁמִ֥יעַ בַּח֖וּץ קוֹלֽוֹ׃ ‎3‏ קָנֶ֤ה רָצוּץ֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁבּ֔וֹר וּפִשְׁתָּ֥ה כֵהָ֖ה לֹ֣א יְכַבֶּ֑נָּה לֶאֱמֶ֖ת יוֹצִ֥יא מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

(Matt. 27:57 (MHNT‏ לְעֵת עֶרֶב בָּא אִישׁ עָשִׁיר תּוֹשַׁב רָמָתַיִם, יוֹסֵף שְׁמוֹ, שֶׁגַּם הוּא נַעֲשָׂה לְתַלְמִיד שֶׁל יֵשׁוּעַ.  ‎58‏ הוּא בָּא אֶל פִּילָטוֹס וּבִקֵּשׁ אֶת גּוּפַת יֵשׁוּעַ. אָז צִוָּה פִּילָטוֹס לִמְסֹר אוֹתָהּ.  ‎59‏ יוֹסֵף לָקַח אֶת הַגּוּפָה, עָטַף אוֹתָה בְּסָדִין נָקִי ‎60‏ וְהִנִּיחַ אוֹתָהּ בְּקִבְרוֹ הֶחָדָשׁ שֶׁלּוֹ אֲשֶׁר חָצַב בַּסֶּלַע. לְאַחַר שֶׁגָּלַל אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָה עַל פֶּתַח הַקֶּבֶר הָלַךְ לְדַרְכּוֹ.
