Isaiah 53:1-12
Luke 24:1-12
Isaiah
53:1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
53:2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
53:4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
53:6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
53:7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
53:8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
53:9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
53:10 Yet it was the LORD’S will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
53:11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
53:12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Luke
24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
24:2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
24:3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
24:4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
24:5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
24:6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
24:7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'”
24:8 Then they remembered his words.
24:9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.
24:11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.
24:12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
