Isaiah 53:3-12
New International Version
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering,(A) and familiar with pain.(B)
Like one from whom people hide(C) their faces
he was despised,(D) and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,(E)
yet we considered him punished by God,(F)
stricken by him, and afflicted.(G)
5 But he was pierced(H) for our transgressions,(I)
he was crushed(J) for our iniquities;
the punishment(K) that brought us peace(L) was on him,
and by his wounds(M) we are healed.(N)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(O)
each of us has turned to our own way;(P)
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity(Q) of us all.
7 He was oppressed(R) and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;(S)
he was led like a lamb(T) to the slaughter,(U)
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment(V) he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(W)
for the transgression(X) of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(Y)
and with the rich(Z) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(AA)
nor was any deceit in his mouth.(AB)
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(AC) to crush(AD) him and cause him to suffer,(AE)
and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(AF)
he will see his offspring(AG) and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper(AH) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(AI)
he will see the light(AJ) of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant(AK) will justify(AL) many,
and he will bear their iniquities.(AM)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g](AN)
and he will divide the spoils(AO) with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,(AP)
and was numbered with the transgressors.(AQ)
For he bore(AR) the sin of many,(AS)
and made intercession(AT) for the transgressors.

Acts 8:32-35
New International Version
32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[a](A)
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(B) with that very passage of Scripture(C) and told him the good news(D) about Jesus.
