- the suffering servant
- Isaiah 53
- He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him
- Catholics see this as a prophecy about Jesus
- He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering and familiar with pain
- he suffered so that others wouldn't have to
- Surely, he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him and afflicted
- his acceptance of his suffering brought about salvation
