Isaiah 52: 13 - 53 are often called the Suffering Servant Chapter: https://www.blueletterbible.org/lsb/isa/53/1/s_732001 If you read them out loud, they sound as if Isaiah was prophesying the crucifixion and resurrection of the Servant, especially if you also read Psalms 22 with them... this was written long before Romans made crucifixion a by-word.
When Christ yelled “My Father, my father, why have you forsaken me!?” from the cross, he was conjuring psalms 22. The religious leaders should’ve known this at the time.
He was definitely quoting it in reference to Himself, agreed. Some did (Nicodemus and Joseph, who were both part of the Sanhedrin, for two notables). Others would get it later. (like the Apostle Paul)
