The Song of the Suffering Servant



He had no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by men ---- 'a man of sorrows', and acquainted with grief ---- and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he has born our griefs and carried our sorrows ---- yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities ---- upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his own way ---- and 'the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all'.♥

*The Song of the Suffering Servant
Contains a description in which it is possible, in a certain sense, identify the stages of Christ's Passion in their various details.
