Looking

Consider him who endured such contrary talk by sinners against him. You should not get tired and give up in your mind (heart).

But as for me, I will look to Jehovah! I will wait for the God of my salvation! My God will hear me.

I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of kindness and of supplication. They will look to the one whom they pierced; and they will mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son. There will be a bitter lamentation for him, like one who grieves for his first-born.

The next day he saw Jesus coming to him. He boldly declared: Behold! The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!

I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Endured

When Christ came into the world he said: 'Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but you have prepared a body for me.

From that time forward Jesus made it clear to his disciples how he would have to go to Jerusalem. He told them he would undergo much at the hands of the authorities, including the chief priests and scribes. He let them know he would be put to death. The third day he would come back from the dead.

When we get to Jerusalem, he said, The Son of man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes. They will give orders for him to be put to death.

He bore our sins in his body upon the stake, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed because of his wounds (stripes).

Because Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.

If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

And is

God's Son is the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his being. He sustains all things by his powerful word. After Jesus purged our sins, he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
