My Favorite Bible Verse

I think I found my favorite Bible Verses. See Glossary at bottom of page.
Isaiah 53: 3-9, 12


He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom man hide their faces, he despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned his own way; and the Lord has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; He was led like a lamb to slaughter, as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgement He was taken away. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death, though He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.....
For He bore the sin of many, and made intersession for the transgressors.
