People who search bible verses about the Root of Jesse want Scripture on shoresh and Isaiah 11:10 — Jesse's lineage root as a banner for the nations — not only the Root of David Revelation title list or the Son of David Gospel address alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about Root of David, Bible verses about Son of David, Bible verses about Messiah, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about the Lion of Judah, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about salvation, and Bible verse of the day. Root of Jesse here means the Isaiah 11:10 banner and Jesse lineage — distinct from Root-of-David title inventory alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, "root" is שֹׁרֶשׁ shoresh (Strong's H8328; Bible Hub H8328) — root, bottom, or deep root. Isaiah 11:10 names the Root of Jesse as a banner for the peoples; Romans 15:12 cites that hope for the Gentiles. This list tracks Jesse-root lineage and that Gentile hope, not only Revelation Root-of-David titles.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Isaiah 11 presses the Root of Jesse as a standard for the nations (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 11; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 11). (Root of David and Son of David lists live on those pages; this list centers Root of Jesse.)
