Isaiah 53:12 (WEB)
Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
Catechism · 6
"And in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Our Lord"
“He unveiled the authentic content of his messianic kingship both in the transcendent identity of the Son of Man "who came down from heaven", and in his redemptive mission as the suffering Servant: "The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."” — Catechism footnote: Jn 3:13; Mt 20:28; cf. Jn 6:62; Dan 7:13; Is 53:10-12.
The Mysteries of Christ's Life
“He allows himself to be numbered among sinners; he is already "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world".” — Catechism footnote: Jn 1:29; cf. Is 53:12.
Jesus Died Crucified
“The Scriptures had foretold this divine plan of salvation through the putting to death of "the righteous one, my Servant" as a mystery of universal redemption, that is, as the ransom that would free men from the slavery of sin.” — Catechism footnote: Is 53:11; cf. 53:12; Jn 8 34-36; Acts 3:14.
“By doing so, he reveals that Jesus is at the same time the suffering Servant who silently allows himself to be led to the slaughter and who bears the sin of the multitudes, and also the Paschal Lamb, the symbol of Israel's redemption at the first Passover.” — Catechism footnote: Is 53:7, 12; cf. Jer 11:19; Ex 12:3-14; Jn 19:36; 1 Cor 5:7.
“By his obedience unto death, Jesus accomplished the substitution of the suffering Servant, who "makes himself an offering for sin", when "he bore the sin of many", and who "shall make many to be accounted righteous", for "he shall bear their iniquities".” — Catechism footnote: Is 53:10-12.
"I Believe in the Holy Spirit"
The Messiah's characteristics are revealed above all in the "Servant songs." These songs proclaim the meaning of Jesus' Passion and show how he will pour out the Holy Spirit to give life to the many: not as an outsider, but by embracing our "form as slave."

Tertullian
“Finally, he subjoins: “Therefore He shall have many for an heritage, and of many shall He divide spoils:” who else (shall so do) but He who “was born,” as we have above shown?—“in return for the fact that His soul was delivered unto death?”” — editor's note: Isa. liii. 12 (in LXX.). Comp., too, Bp. Lowth. Oehler’s pointing again appears to be faulty.

Read the whole comment““For,” he says, “He shall remit to many their sins, and shall Himself take away our sins.”” — editor's note: This seems to be Isa. liii. 12, last clause.

Augustine of Hippo
“Which I suppose to be more fitly taken of Christ, because, being made in the likeness of men, He was thought by those by whom He was despised to be comparable to other men: for He was even “reckoned among the unrighteous,” but for this purpose, that He might be judged.” — editor's note: Isa. liii. 12.

“They crucified Him too with thieves, in this also unintentionally fulfilling prophecy; for what they did for insult contributed to the truth, that thou mayest learn how great is its power, since the Prophet had foretold of old, that “He was numbered with the transgressors.” ( Isa. liii. 12.)” — the author cites it
