Good Friday


Psalm 22:1-18 ESV
(1)  My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?...
(6)  I am ... scorned by mankind and despised by the people.
(7)  All who see me mock me...
(8)  "He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!"
(14)  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
(15)  my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.
(16)  ...they have pierced my hands and feet --
(17)  I can count all my bones-- they stare and gloat over me;
(18)  they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.

Isaiah 53:3-12 ESV
(3)  He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
(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 crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with 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; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
(8)  By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
(9)  And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
(10)  Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
(11)  Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
(12)  Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
