He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, nothing
in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised
and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with
infirmity, and as one from whom others hide their faces, he was
despised, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne
our infirmities and carried our diseases, yet we accounted him
stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded
for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was
the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we
are healed. (Isaiah 53:2-5, NRSV)
