Isaiah 53:3-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 He was despised and rejected by others;
a man of suffering[a] and acquainted with infirmity,
and as one from whom others hide their faces[b]
he was despised, and we held him of no account.(A)
4 Surely he has borne our infirmities
and carried our diseases,
yet we accounted him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.(B)
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the punishment that made us whole,
and by his bruises we are healed.(C)
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have all turned to our own way,
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.(D)
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.(E)
8 By a perversion of justice he was taken away.
Who could have imagined his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people.(F)
9 They made his grave with the wicked
and his tomb[c] with the rich,[d]
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.(G)
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction.
When you make his life an offering for sin,[e]
he shall see his offspring and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.(H)
11 Out of his anguish he shall see;
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
The righteous one,[f] my servant, shall make many righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.(I)
12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out himself to death
and was numbered with the transgressors,
yet he bore the sin of many
and made intercession for the transgressors.(J)
Isaiah 53:3-12
New International Version
Isaiah 53:3-12
New International Version
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering,(A) and familiar with pain.(B)
Like one from whom people hide(C) their faces
he was despised,(D) and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,(E)
yet we considered him punished by God,(F)
stricken by him, and afflicted.(G)
5 But he was pierced(H) for our transgressions,(I)
he was crushed(J) for our iniquities;
the punishment(K) that brought us peace(L) was on him,
and by his wounds(M) we are healed.(N)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(O)
each of us has turned to our own way;(P)
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity(Q) of us all.
7 He was oppressed(R) and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;(S)
he was led like a lamb(T) to the slaughter,(U)
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment(V) he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(W)
for the transgression(X) of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(Y)
and with the rich(Z) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(AA)
nor was any deceit in his mouth.(AB)
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(AC) to crush(AD) him and cause him to suffer,(AE)
and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(AF)
he will see his offspring(AG) and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper(AH) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(AI)
he will see the light(AJ) of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant(AK) will justify(AL) many,
and he will bear their iniquities.(AM)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g](AN)
and he will divide the spoils(AO) with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,(AP)
and was numbered with the transgressors.(AQ)
For he bore(AR) the sin of many,(AS)
and made intercession(AT) for the transgressors.

24 before his coming John had already proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.(A) 25 And as John was finishing his work, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but one is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the strap of the sandals[a] on his feet.’(B)
26 “Brothers and sisters,[b] you descendants of Abraham’s family and others who fear God, to us[c] the message of this salvation has been sent. 27 Because the residents of Jerusalem and their leaders did not recognize him or understand the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, they fulfilled those words by condemning him.(C) 28 Even though they found no cause for a sentence of death, they asked Pilate to have him killed.(D)

The Death of John the Baptist
14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’s[a] name had become known. Some were[b] saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead, and for this reason these powers are at work in him.” 15 But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”(A) 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”(B)
17 For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod[c] had married her. 18 For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”(C) 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed,[d] and yet he liked to listen to him.(D) 21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee.(E) 22 When his daughter Herodias[e] came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.” 23 And he swore[f] to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.”(F) 24 She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” She replied, “The head of John the baptizer.” 25 Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26 The king was deeply grieved, yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s[g] head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother.

John the Baptist Beheaded(A)(B)
14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,[a] “John the Baptist(C) has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 Others said, “He is Elijah.”(D)
And still others claimed, “He is a prophet,(E) like one of the prophets of long ago.”(F)
16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”
17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison.(G) He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”(H) 19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man.(I) When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled[b]; yet he liked to listen to him.
21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet(J) for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.(K) 22 When the daughter of[c] Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.
The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.” 23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”(L)
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”
“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.
25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, 28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.
