Isaiah 53<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Who has believed our message
\n and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
\n2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
\n and like a root out of dry ground.
\nHe had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
\n nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
\n3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
\n a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
\nLike one from whom people hide their faces
\n he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.<\/p>\n

4 Surely he took up our pain
\n and bore our suffering,
\nyet we considered him punished by God,
\n stricken by him, and afflicted.
\n5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
\n he was crushed for our iniquities;
\nthe punishment that brought us peace was on him,
\n and by his wounds we are healed.
\n6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
\n each of us has turned to our own way;
\nand the LORD has laid on him
\n the iniquity of us all.<\/p>\n

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
\n yet he did not open his mouth;
\nhe was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
\n and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
\n so he did not open his mouth.
\n8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
\n Yet who of his generation protested?
\nFor he was cut off from the land of the living;
\n for the transgression of my people he was punished.
\n9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
\n and with the rich in his death,
\nthough he had done no violence,
\n nor was any deceit in his mouth.<\/p>\n

10 Yet it was the LORD\u2019s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
\n and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin,
\nhe will see his offspring and prolong his days,
\n and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
\n11 After he has suffered,
\n he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
\nby his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
\n and he will bear their iniquities.
\n12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
\n and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
\nbecause he poured out his life unto death,
\n and was numbered with the transgressors.
\nFor he bore the sin of many,
\n and made intercession for the transgressors.<\/p>\n
