Isaiah 53:1-6

English Standard Version

53 ^(A)Who has believed what he has heard from us?^[a]
    And to whom has ^(B)the arm of the Lord been revealed?
²For he grew up before him like a young plant,
    ^(C)and like a root out of dry ground;
^(D)he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
    and no beauty that we should desire him.
³^(E)He was despised and rejected^[b] by men,
    a man of sorrows^[c] and acquainted with^[d] grief;^[e]
and as one from whom men hide their faces^[f]
    he was despised, and ^(F)we esteemed him not.

⁴^(G)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    ^(H)smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵^(I)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    ^(J)and with his wounds we are healed.
⁶^(K)All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^(L)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

Luke 4:17-21

English Standard Version

¹⁷And ^(A)the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸^(B)“The Spirit of the Lord ^(C)is upon me,
    because he has anointed me
    to ^(D)proclaim good news to the poor.
^(E)He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
    and ^(F)recovering of sight to the blind,
    ^(G)to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
¹⁹^(H)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”

²⁰And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and ^(I)sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were ^(J)fixed on him. ²¹And he began to say to them, “Today ^(K)this Scripture ^(L)has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
