TO

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 L

ORD

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 L

ORD

to crush him;he has put him to grief.

The prophet IsaiahChapter 53, Verses 3-10
