Here is a post by Walter C. Kaiser Jr. on a recently made public discovery of a stone that speaks of a suffering Messiah that predates Jesus. He asks the question,

But there is no doubt that one of the key debates in the days ahead will be the concept of a Suffering Messiah. Was this a real part of the TENAK (=Old Testament), or is this concept of a Suffering Anointed One and his Resurrection a Christian imposition or is it a reinterpretation of the TENAK?

He takes his answer from Isaiah 50:4-11 and says

If the “Dead Sea Scroll in Stone” exhibits any message similar to what the prophet Isaiah laid out in the Third Servant Song, we are in for some very interesting Jewish-Evangelical dialogues! Perhaps the Church can pick up where it broke off from the Synagogue in the second to fourth Christian centuries! This would be one giant step forward for all who take Scripture and history seriously.
