Isaiah 53:1-3 New English Translation (NET)

1. Who would have believed what we just heard?When was the Lord’s power revealed through him?

2. He sprouted up like a twig before God,like a root out of parched soil;he had no stately form or majesty that might catch our attention,no special appearance that we should want to follow him.

3. He was despised and rejected by people,one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness;people hid their faces from him;he was despised, and we considered him insignificant.
