Jesushealedphysicalpeopleofphysicalsicknessesandcastoutactualdemonsinordertofulfillthis prophesy. Buttheactual fulfillment isnotonly in thehealing andthe castingout, its in

This is a reference to the same prophecy and fulfillment. Jesus bore our sins (and thepunishment)forussowedonthaveto.

"Welldid Isaiahprophesyofyouhypocrites,as itiswritten: 'Thispeoplehonorsmewiththeirlips,
