Isa 53:2-10, Mal 1:11, 1Cor 15:20, Rev 14:4 | ESV | STEP | For he grew up before him like a young plant , and like a root out of dry ground ; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.

Isaiah 53:2-10

2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
^aand like a root out of dry ground;
^bhe had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 ^cHe 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 ⁱwe esteemed him not.
4 ^jSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
^ksmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 ^lBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
^mand with his wounds we are healed.
6 ⁿAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^oand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
^pyet he opened not his mouth;
^qlike a ^rlamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, ^swho considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
^tand with a rich man in his death,
although ^uhe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet ^vit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ^{▼▼Or he has made him sick}
^xwhen his soul makes ^{▼▼Or when you make his soul} an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^zthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

Malachi 1:11

11 For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name ^aawill be ^{▼▼Or is (three times in verse 11; also verse 14)} great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name ^acwill be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.

1 Corinthians 15:20

20 But in fact ^adChrist has been raised from the dead, ^aethe firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Revelation of John 14:4

4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for ^afthey are virgins. It is these ^agwho follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as ^ahfirstfruits for God and the Lamb,
