⁴ Surely, He has born our sickness and carried our sorrows. Yet, we judged Him as touched and stricken by God, and humbled.

⁶ All of us, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned, every one, to his own way. And the LORD has laid the iniquity of us all upon Him.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted. Yet, He did not open His Mouth. He is brought as a sheep to the slaughter. And as a sheep before her shearer is dumb, so He did not open His Mouth.

⁸ He was taken out from prison, and from judgment. And who shall declare His age? For He was cut out of the land of the living. For He was plagued for the transgression of my people.

⁹ And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich, in His death. Though He had done no wickedness. Nor was any deceit in His Mouth.

¹² “Therefore, I will give him a portion with the great. And He shall divide the plunder with the strong, because He has poured out His soul until death. And He was counted with the transgressors. And He bore the sin of many, and prayed for the trespassers.”

⁹ For you have said, “The LORD is my hope.” You have set the Most High for your refuge.

¹⁰ No evil shall come to you. Nor shall any plague come near your house.

¹¹ For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways.

¹² They shall hold you in their hands, so that you do not strike your foot against a stone.

5 For every High Priest is taken from among man (and is ordained for man, in things pertaining to God), so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

² He is able to have compassion on the ignorant and the wayward, because he also is encompassed by infirmity.

³ And for the same reason he must also offer for his own sins as well as for the people’s.

⁴ And no man takes this honor for himself, but rather he who is called by God (as was Aaron).

⁵ So likewise, Christ did not take this honor for Himself (to be made the High Priest), but He Who said to Him, “You are My Son. This day I begat You”.

⁶ As He also, in another place states, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek”,

⁷ Who, in the days of his flesh, offered up prayers and supplications (with strong crying and tears) to Him Who was able to save him from death. And He was heard because he feared.

³⁷ And they said to Him, “Grant to us that we may sit - one at Your right hand, and the other at Your left hand - in Your Glory.

³⁸ But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Can you drink of the same cup as Me, and be baptized with the same baptism?”

³⁹ And they said to Him, “We can.” But Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink of the same cup, and be baptized with the same baptism.

⁴⁰ “But to sit at My right hand and at My left is not Mine to give. But rather, it shall be given to those for whom it is prepared.”

⁴¹ And when the other ten heard that, they began to be angry about James and John.

⁴² But Jesus called them to Him, and said to them, “You know that those who are princes among the Gentiles, have dominion over them. And those who are great among them exercise authority over them.

⁴³ “But it shall not be so among you. For whoever desires to be great among you shall be your servant.

⁴⁴ “And whoever desires to be your leader shall be the servant of all.

⁴⁵ “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve; and to give His life for the ransom of many.”
