§ 47 First, The most Ancient and best records of their Judgement, expressly affirm the Person spoken of, to be the Messiah. This is the Targum on the place which themselves esteem of unquestionable, if not of Divine Authority. The spring and rise of the whole Prophecy, as the Series of the Discourse manifests, is in v. 13. of Chap. 52. and there, the words [Greek or Hebrew]; Behold my servant shall prosper, or deal wisely, are rendered by Jonathan, [Greek or Hebrew]; Behold my servant the Messiah shall prosper. And among others, the fifth verse of Chap. 53. is so Paraphrased by him, as that none of the Jews will pretend any other to be intended: [Greek or Hebrew]. ⟨p. 229⟩And he shall build the House of our Sanctuary, which is profaned for our sins, and delivered for our iniquities, and in his Doctrine shall peace be multiplied unto us; and when we obey his word, our sin shall be forgiven us. Wherein though he much pervert the Text, yet to give us that sense, which by their own confession is applicable only to the Messiah: whereby as by other parts of his interpretation, he stopped the way unto the present Rabbinical evasions. The Translation of the LXX, they have formerly avouched as their own. And this also plainly refers the words to the Messiah and his sufferings; though somewhat more obscurely then it is done in the Original.
