ÒSurely 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. All we, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on
him the iniquity of us all.Ó
