Passion of the Lord (Good Friday)
See, my servant shall prosper;
he will be highly exalted and lifted up,
and shall be very high.
Just as there were many who were astonished at him,
so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance.
He was despised and rejected by others;
A man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;
and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised,
and we held him of no account
(Isaiah 52:13-14; 53:3)
