God's servant would be buried in a rich man's tomb

Bible passage: Isaiah 53:9
Prophet: Isaiah
Written: Between 701-681 BC

In Isaiah 53:9, the prophet Isaiah wrote about a sinless servant being put to death with the wicked and buried with the rich. About 700 years after this was written, Jesus was put to death along with two criminals and was buried in a tomb owned by a wealthy man, as explained in the New Testament. The New Testament also says that Jesus was resurrected three days later and ascended into Heaven.
