This document contains the text of Isaiah 53:1-6 and discusses its relevance to the Messiah and how passages from it are referenced in the New Testament. It also includes reflections on the meaning of Isaiah 53:6 ("We all, like sheep, have gone astray") from historical Christian figures like John Calvin, C.H. Spurgeon, and D.L. Moody.

2. 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD
been revealed?
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.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and
familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was
despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered
him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his
wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own
way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53. 1-6
