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. We all, 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 – Isaiah 53:4-6
