We must now acquaint ourselves with the teaching that underlies these references to
the Lord's "Servant". We must first, however, have the structure of the section as a
whole before us, so that, even though we do not attempt a detailed exposition of every
section, the relation of each part to the whole may be observed, and the light thus
received illuminate the passages chosen for expansion.
