He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And with the rich in his death; Lying in the new tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea. Isa_53:9. Because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. If he had used either violence or deceit, he might have escaped; but because he was harmless and true, therefore must he die.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him, he was...
