"He is despised and rejected of men; a man
of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and
we hid as it were our faces from him; he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs [Hebrew word

sicknesses], and carried our sorrows [pains]:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,

he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastise-
ment of our peace was upon him; and with
his stripes we are healed."
Isaiah 53:3-5
