X. THE BEST TEXTS FOR JEWS

ISA 53 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the

LORD been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like

a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to

him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was

despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with

suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and

we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our

sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and

afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed

for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,

and by his wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own

way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was

oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like

a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,

so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken

away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the

land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.

He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his

death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it was the LORD'S will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and

though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his

offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper

in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of

life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will

justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.

Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide

the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death,

and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many,

and made intercession for the transgressors.

ZEC 12:10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the

inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will

look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as

one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one

grieves for a firstborn son.

DAN 9:26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut

off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will

destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War

will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.
