We read in Isaiah 53:3-5 He was 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 esteemed Him not. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. - By His Stripes We are Healed
