Isaiah 53:3-83 He is despised and rejected by men,

A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;

He was despised, and we did not esteem

Him.4 Surely He has borne our griefs

And carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed Him stricken,

Smitten by God, and afflicted.5 But He was wounded for our

transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace was upon

Him,

And by His stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray;

We have turned, every one, to his own way;

And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of

us all.7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,

Yet He opened not His mouth;

He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,

And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,

So He opened not His mouth.8 He was taken from prison and from

judgment,

And who will declare His generation?

For He was cut off from the land of the

living;

For the transgressions of My people He was

stricken.

Luke 24:25-2725 Then He said to them, “O

foolish ones, and slow of

heart to believe in all that

the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not the Christ to

have suffered these things

and to enter into His glory?” 27 And beginning at Moses

and all the Prophets, He

expounded to them in all

the Scriptures the things

concerning Himself.

Luke 24:44-47 The Scriptures Opened44 Then He said to them, “These are the

words which I spoke to you while I was still

with you, that all things must be fulfilled

which were written in the Law of Moses and

the Prophets and the Psalms concerning

Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding,

that they might comprehend the Scriptures.46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written,

and thus it was necessary for the Christ to

suffer and to rise[a] from the dead the third

day, 47 and that repentance and remission of

sins should be preached in His name to all

nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
