Isaiah 53:2

The Lord's Suffering Servant

¹ Who would have believed what we just heard? When was the Lord's power revealed through him? ² He sprouted up like a twig before God, like a root out of parched soil; he had no stately form or majesty that might catch our attention, no special appearance that we should want to follow him. ³ He was despised and rejected by people, one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness; people hid their faces from him; he was despised, and we considered him insignificant.
