was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not."Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
"But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the suffering that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
"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."
- Isaiah 53:3-6 (ESV, adapt.)
Nothing else needs to be said...Happy Easter.
