Mary was a virgin when Jesus was conceived. God promised to send a Son who would be "God with us" "Emmanuel". Jesus is that Son. God promised the land of Zebulun and Naphtali and "Galilee of the nations" a light for their darkness. Jesus is that light; at the time of Jesus, Galilee was a mix of Jews and Gentiles.

The writer says he will not be rebellious or turn away. Jesus obeyed God all the way to the cross. Isaiah speaks of one who will be beaten and spit upon. Jesus was beaten and spit upon.
The Suffering Servant will be so abused He will not look human. Jesus was beaten, whipped, crucified, and pierced by a spear. The Suffering Servant will be despised and rejected by His own people. The Suffering Servant will bear the abuse we deserve for our physical and spiritual healing. Jesus did this. The Suffering Servant is like a lamb that does not defend itself. Although Jesus spoke during His trials, He never offered a defense.
The Suffering Servant will be buried in the grave of a rich man. Jesus was buried in the grave of Joseph of Arimathea. God ordained that the Suffering Servant would suffer and die.
God sent Jesus to die. The Suffering Servant will intercede for His abusers. Jesus asked God to forgive those who crucified Him. God promises a great light to pierce the darkness of Israel and the nations. Jesus is that light. God promises someone to declare good news for the brokenhearted, captives, and prisoners. Jesus is that someone. God promises a "righteous Branch" from the line of Jesse who will do what is just. Jesus is that Branch. God makes a woman "encircle" or protect a man.

Hebrew Scriptures reference: Numbers New Testament citations: Matthew , Revelation Hebrew Scriptures reference: Micah [Hebrew Bible verse 1].
New Testament citations: Matthew , John Commentary: In agreement with the thought that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, we find first that Jesus was actually born there, though he grew up in Nazareth. Commentary: Rabbinic argumentation often centered on resolving two apparently contradictory Bible passages. Here, Jesus does something similar.
