(A)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    (B)and with his wounds we are healed.
(C)All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(D)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
    (E)yet he opened not his mouth;
(F)like a (G)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so he opened not his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
    and as for his generation, (H)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
    stricken for the transgression of my people?
And they made his grave with the wicked
    (I)and with a rich man in his death,
although (J)he had done no violence,
    and there was no deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet (K)it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
    he has put him to grief;[a]
(L)when his soul makes[b] an offering for guilt,
    he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
(M)the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see[c] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall (N)the righteous one, my servant,
    (O)make many to be accounted righteous,
    (P)and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 (Q)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[d]
    (R)and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,[e]
because he poured out his soul to death
    and was numbered with the transgressors;
(S)yet he bore the sin of many,
    and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

15 (A)And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of (B)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold (C)pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, (D)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But (E)you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and (F)were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because (G)all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 (H)And when evening came they[a] went out of the city.

15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[a]?(A) But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[b](B)

18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him,(C) because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.(D)
