The following Scripture verses are found in the Book of Isaiah chapter 53. Written many centuries before Jesus was born but tells of what he, the Christ, was to go through and why.
He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised and we esteemed him not.
Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our(my) transgressions,
he was crushed for our(my) iniquities;
the punishment that brought us(me) peace
was upon him,
and by his wounds we(I) are healed.
We all like sheep have gone astray,
each has turned to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised and we esteemed him not.
Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our(my) transgressions,
he was crushed for our(my) iniquities;
the punishment that brought us(me) peace
was upon him,
and by his wounds we(I) are healed.
We all like sheep have gone astray,
each has turned to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
