By referring to and mentioning Isaiah's prophesy in John 6, Jesus extends an invitation to share in the new exodus redemption. In Isaiah 53:11, the Scripture speaks of “My Servant, will justify many.”  I think Jesus does bring forth this servant motive for himself as the Son of man and Son of God. Is it possible to find verses on this from the Gospel of John using Logos?

    topic:Servant NEAR bible:John produces decent results in my library

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Of course.

    Search for "son of man" OR "son of God"  in John.  You can add "lamb of God"   to that.

    By typing son of man you can see a suggestion for person:"Son of Man",  that can be used instead.

    Is 53:11 is not quoted in John, but try intertext:source:Is53

    Thanks for the tips. Is there any books that cover this at any length?
