Summary/Abstract: Early Christian authors use Isaiah 52–53 for various purposes. Beside the Christological-soteriological interpretation of Jesus’ ministry and/or suffering, the quotes serve ethical purposes. The apologetical-polemical function becomes dominant from the mid-second century onward, as part of the debates with real or fictitious Jewish and pagan opponents.
