The Sin-Bearing Servant

13 Behold, (A)My Servant shall [a]deal prudently;
(B)He shall be exalted and [b]extolled and be very high.
14 Just as many were astonished at you,
So His (C)visage[c] was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;
15 (D)So shall He [d]sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
For (E)what had not been told them they shall see,
And what they had not heard they shall consider.

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

(A)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, (B)being in the form of God, did not consider it [a]robbery to be equal with God, (C)but [b]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form (D)of a bondservant, and (E)coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and (F)became (G)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
