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
