“He was despisedand rejected by men,a man of sufferingand acquainted with disease.He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;and we didn’t respect him.”
Isaiah 53:3 (WEB)
Context Reading
1Who has believed our message?To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed? 2For he grew up before him as a tender plant,and as a root out of dry ground.He has no good looks or majesty.When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3He was despisedand rejected by men,a man of sufferingand acquainted with disease.He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;and we didn’t respect him. 4Surely he has borne our sicknessand carried our suffering;yet we considered him plagued,struck by God, and afflicted. 5But he was pierced for our transgressions.He was crushed for our iniquities.The punishment that brought our peace was on him;and by his wounds we are healed.
