Isaiah 53 - Summary

Original Summary

Read Isaiah Chapter 53 Summary

Who has believed our report? The Servant grew up like a tender plant, despised and rejected, a man of sorrows acquainted with grief. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities; by his stripes we are healed. The LORD laid on him all our iniquity. Silent as a lamb before slaughter, he was cut off from the living for our transgression, making his soul an offering for sin.
