Verse 13-15
"He shall be exalted and lifted up."
Sigve Tonstad points out that this is the word that Jesus uses when he is says that he will be lifted up as the serpent was lifted up (John 3:14).
Sigve points out that this does not mean a physical lifting but a royal exaltation as Isaiah mentions. "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I am [he]." (John 8:28)
This is how the truth is exalted, by letting the liar take his course he reveals himself as a liar.
