Happy Resurrection Day!!!

He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried
our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he
was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment
that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds
we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us
has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on
him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not
open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did
not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off
from the land of the living; for the transgression of my
people he was stricken.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the
rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor
was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to
suffer, and though the Lord makes his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will
of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of
life and be satisfied, by his knowledge my righteous servant
will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and
he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured
out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors.
Isaiah 53
