(KJV) Isaiah 53¹

⥃The Suffering Servant ^{[ Acts 8:26–40 † 1 Peter 2:21–25 ]}

[1] Who² hath believed our report³? and to whom is the⁴ arm of the Lord revealed⁵? [2] For he shall grow⁶ up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no⁷ form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. [3] He is despised⁸ and rejected of men; a man⁹ of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him¹⁰; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

[4] Surely he hath¹¹ borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet¹² we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he [was¹³] wounded¹⁴ for our transgressions, [he was] bruised¹⁵ for our iniquities: the chastisement¹⁶ of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes¹⁷ we are healed. [6] All we¹⁸ like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own¹⁹ way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all²⁰. [7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet²¹ he opened not his mouth: he is²² brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. [8] He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who²³ shall declare his generation? for he was cut off²⁴ out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken²⁵.²⁶

⥃A Grave Assigned ^{[ Matthew 27:57–61 † Mark 15:42–47 † Luke 23:50–56 † John 19:38–42 ]}

[9] And he made²⁷ his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death²⁸; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit²⁹ in his mouth.

[10] Yet it pleased³⁰ the Lord to bruise him; he hath³¹ put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul³² an offering for sin, he shall see³³ [his] seed, he shall prolong³⁴ [his] days, and the pleasure³⁵ of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. [11] He shall see³⁶ of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his³⁷ knowledge shall my righteous servant justify³⁸ many; for he shall bear³⁹ their iniquities. [12] Therefore will I⁴⁰ divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured⁴¹ out his soul unto death: and he was⁴² numbered with the transgressors; and he bare⁴³ the sin of many, and made⁴⁴ intercession for the transgressors.
