Isaiah 53:1-3

1 ^dWho has believed what he has heard from us? ^{▼▼Or Who has believed what we have heard?}
And to whom has ^fthe arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
^gand like a root out of dry ground;
^hhe had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 ⁱHe was despised and rejected ^{▼▼Or forsaken} by men,
a man of sorrows, ^{▼▼Or pains; also verse 4} and acquainted with ^{▼▼Or and knowing} grief; ^{▼▼Or sickness; also verse 4}
and as one from whom men hide their faces ^{▼▼Or as one who hides his face from us}
he was despised, and ^owe esteemed him not.

John 3:18-21

18 ^uWhoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not ^vbelieved in the name of the only Son of God. 19 ^wAnd this is the judgment: ^xthe light has come into the world, and ^ypeople loved the darkness rather than the light because ^ztheir works were evil. 20 ^aaFor everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, ^ablest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever ^acdoes what is true ^adcomes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

John 5:43

43 I have come ^aein my Father’s name, and ^afyou do not receive me. ^agIf another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
