Jesus Christ
Despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief . . . we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth. . . .
He was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people. . . .
There was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief.
The prophet Isaiah Chapter 53, Verses 3-10
