But he was.
Isa. 53:6‑8,11‑12• 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and was as a sheep dumb before her shearers, and he opened not his mouth.
 8He was taken from detention and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation for he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
 11From the travail of his soul shall he see, he shall be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my righteous servant instruct the many in righteousness; and he shall bear their iniquities.
 12Therefore will I assign him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isa. 53:6‑8,11‑12)

Rom. 3:24‑26• 24being justified gratuitously by his grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,
 25whom God set forth as a propitiatory through faith in his blood, for a declaration of his righteousness on account of the praeter-mission of the sins that had been before, in the forbearance of God,
 26with a view to the declaration of his righteousness in the present time, in order to his being just and justifying him that [is] of faith in Jesus. (Rom. 3:24‑26)

Rom. 5:6‑10,15‑21• 6For Christ, while we were yet weak, died in due time for ungodly [men].
 7For hardly in behalf of a righteous [man] will one die: for in behalf of the good [man] perhaps one even dareth to die;
 8but God commendeth his own love towards us, because, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
 9Much more then, having been now justified by his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.
 10For if while enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
 15But [shall] not, as the offence, so also [be] the free gift? for if by the offence of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abound unto the many.
 16And [shall] not, as by one having sinned, [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one unto condemnation, but the free gift [was] of many offences unto justification.
 17For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much more they that receive the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:)
 18So then as by one offence [it was] toward all men for condemnation, so also by one accomplished righteousness toward all men for justification of life.
 19For as by the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many shall be constituted righteous.
 20But law came in by the way, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded, grace over-abounded
 21that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness unto life eternal by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 5:6‑10,15‑21)

 14by how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by [the] eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve a living God?

• If verse 4 is their confession of the truth concerning His wonderful life of sympathetic and sorrowful service, verse 5 gives the confession they will make as the true meaning of His death dawns upon them. They discover that He died as a Substitute, and it was even for themselves. (“Isaiah 53” by F.B. Hole)
• Verse 5 is the central verse of this chapter, which really begins with verse 13 of chapter 52. It is therefore the central verse of the central chapter of the central section of this latter part of Isaiah. And without a doubt it predicts truth which is absolutely central to our soul’s salvation and in our soul’s experience. The transgressions, the iniquities were mine, each of us has to say, but the wounding, the bruising were not mine but His. The peace, the healing are mine, but the chastisement, the stripes that procured them, were not mine but His. In all this He was my Substitute. (“Isaiah 53” by F.B. Hole)
