Christ on the Cross

"Just as there were many who were appalled at Him -

His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man

and His form marred beyond human likeness."

Isaiah 52:14

"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.

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."

Isaiah 53:3,5

"At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land 

until the ninth hour.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice,

'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?' -

which means, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?'

Luke 15:33-34

"When He had received the drink,

Jesus said,

'It is finished.'

With that, He bowed his head and

gave up

His spirit.

John 19:30

"The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

And the centurion,

who stood there in front of Jesus,

heard his cry and saw how he died,

he said, 'Surely this man was the

Son of God!."

Mark 15:38-39
