¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil --

¹⁵ and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

¹⁶ for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of Abraham it layeth hold,

³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴ Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains -- he hath carried them, And we -- we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵ And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace `is' on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.

⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.

⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

²¹ for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

²² who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

²³ who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

²⁴ who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,

²⁵ for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.

⁵⁵ And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were not finding,

¹⁷ `Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

¹⁸ no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'

¹⁹ Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,

⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,

⁴⁵ for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

³⁸ then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul -- unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.'

²¹ From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.
