Jesus said to the Jewish people in John Chapter 5 the following:
"John 5:36 But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. The works He does testifies of Him and that the Father has sent Him."
This is in reference to the declaration of Christ and the works He would complete according to the scripture, according to what the law and the prophets declared. He was telling them if they search Moses, Ezekiel, Isaiah and looked they should see Him. He was telling them that He was the fulfillment of the law and the prophets. They testify of Him! Isaiah 53 is a perfect illustration of the declaration of Jesus from the scripture, from the prophet Isaiah. God spoke through Isaiah, written in 53 of Christ's suffering and His resurrection. This is plain in our Bibles. This is God speaking and when Jesus came, the Word God spoke made flesh.
However, the whole of the scripture, Genesis to Malachi, is His Testimony. When we go to the scripture, we should be going to SEE JESUS! This should be our desire, that I see Jesus from the scripture. Consider the tabernacle in the wilderness where the presence of God dwelled. When Jesus came, He was the Tabernacle where God dwelled. He was the place of the Offering. He was the High Priest of the Tabernacle. He was the Presence of the Living. In Him was housed the Father. Consider that fulfillment.
Consider when God said by Isaiah that he was going to do a new thing that He was speaking of the New Covenant and the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This was the New He was declaring. It was the testimony of Jesus. Jesus was the Word spoken made flesh! Glory to God.
