APPENDIX
83
Isaiah the Prophet
84
Seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus, Isaiah the prophet gave the following prediction in Isaiah 53:3 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. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: and yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
85
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
86
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:6
87
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
88
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
89
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
