Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21-25 Isaiah 53:1-6
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered(A) for you, leaving you an example,(B) that you should follow(C) in his steps. 22 He did not commit sin,(D) and no deceit(E) was found in his mouth;[a](F) 23 when he was insulted, he did not insult in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten but entrusted himself to the one who judges(G) justly. 24 He himself bore our sins(H) in his body(I) on the tree;(J) so that, having died to sins,(K) we might live for righteousness.(L) By his wounds[b](M) you have been healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray,[c](N) but you have now returned to the Shepherd(O) and Overseer[d] of your souls.
Read full chapter53 Who has believed what we have heard?[a]
And to whom has the arm of the Lord(A) been revealed?(B)
2 He grew up before him like a young plant(C)
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at him,
no appearance that we should desire him.(D)
3 He was despised and rejected by men,(E)
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was.(F)
He was like someone people turned away from;[b]
he was despised, and we didn’t value him.
4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains;(G)
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God,(H) and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion,(I)
crushed because of our iniquities;(J)
punishment(K) for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds.(L)
6 We all went astray like sheep;(M)
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished him
for[c] the iniquity(N) of us all.(O)
