Isaiah 53:1-6

New International Version

53 Who has believed our message^(A)
    and to whom has the arm^(B) of the Lord been revealed?^(C)
²He grew up before him like a tender shoot,^(D)
    and like a root^(E) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance^(F) that we should desire him.
³He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering,^(G) and familiar with pain.^(H)
Like one from whom people hide^(I) their faces
    he was despised,^(J) and we held him in low esteem.

⁴Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(K)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(L)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(M)
⁵But he was pierced^(N) for our transgressions,^(O)
    he was crushed^(P) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(Q) that brought us peace^(R) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(S) we are healed.^(T)
⁶We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(U)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(V)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(W) of us all.

¹⁴And we have seen and testify^(A) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.^(B) ¹⁵If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,^(C) God lives in them and they in God.^(D) ¹⁶And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

New International Version

¹⁴Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,^(A) so the Son of Man must be lifted up,^[a]^(B) ¹⁵that everyone who believes^(C) may have eternal life in him.”^[b]^(D)

¹⁶For God so loved^(E) the world that he gave^(F) his one and only Son,^(G) that whoever believes^(H) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^(I) ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world^(J) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^(K)
