How do we know Isaiah's prophecy refers to Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Isaiah's prophecies about the suffering servant are explicitly fulfilled in the life and work of Jesus Christ, as referenced in the New Testament.

The identification of Jesus as the suffering servant is confirmed through numerous New Testament quotations of Isaiah. For example, Matthew 12:18-21 explicitly connects Jesus to Isaiah 42, stating that He is the one chosen by God to bring justice to the nations. Furthermore, Isaiah 53 provides a detailed account of the servant's suffering, which parallels the events of Jesus' crucifixion and sacrificial death. This connection illustrates that the prophetic writings in Isaiah were divinely inspired and foretold the coming of Christ as the fulfillment of God's plan.
