1. Isaiah 53:3-8
3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem
Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our
transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon
Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of
us all.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from
judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the
living;
For the transgressions of My people He was
stricken.

5. Luke 24:25-27
25 Then He said to them, “O
foolish ones, and slow of
heart to believe in all that
the prophets have spoken!
26 Ought not the Christ to
have suffered these things
and to enter into His glory?”
27 And beginning at Moses
and all the Prophets, He
expounded to them in all
the Scriptures the things
concerning Himself.

6. Luke 24:44-47 The Scriptures Opened
44 Then He said to them, “These are the
words which I spoke to you while I was still
with you, that all things must be fulfilled
which were written in the Law of Moses and
the Prophets and the Psalms concerning
Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding,
that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written,
and thus it was necessary for the Christ to
suffer and to rise[a] from the dead the third
day, 47 and that repentance and remission of
sins should be preached in His name to all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
