3 He was despised and rejected by people. He was a man of sorrows, familiar with suffering. He was despised like one from whom people turn their faces, and we didn't consider him to be worth anything. 4 He certainly has taken upon himself our suffering and carried our sorrows, but we thought that God had wounded him, beat him, and punished him. 5 He was wounded for our rebellious acts. He was crushed for our sins. He was punished so that we could have peace, and we received healing from his wounds. 6 We have all strayed like sheep. Each one of us has turned to go his own way, and the LORD has laid all our sins on him. Isaiah 53:3-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
