jesus death

¹⁸For Christ also died once for our sins, the Just One on behalf of the unjust, so that he might offer us to God, having died, certainly, in the flesh, but having been enlivened by the Spirit.

¹⁶We know the love of God in this way: because he laid down his life for us. And so, we must lay down our lives for our brothers.

⁵But he himself was wounded because of our iniquities. He was bruised because of our wickedness. The discipline of our peace was upon him. And by his wounds, we are healed.

²⁵Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.

²And he is the propitiation for our sins. And not only for our sins, but also for those of the whole world.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

¹Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ²And he will rise up like a tender plant in his sight, and like a root from the thirsty ground. There is no beautiful or stately appearance in him. For we looked upon him, and there was no aspect, such that we would desire him. ³He is despised and the least among men, a man of sorrows who knows infirmity. And his countenance was hidden and despised. Because of this, we did not esteem him. ⁴Truly, he has taken away our weaknesses, and he himself has carried our sorrows. And we thought of him as if he were a leper, or as if he had been struck by God and humiliated. ⁵But he himself was wounded because of our iniquities. He was bruised because of our wickedness. The discipline of our peace was upon him. And by his wounds, we are healed. ⁶We have all gone astray like sheep; each one has turned aside to his own way. And the Lord has placed all our iniquity upon him.

¹⁷For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again. ¹⁸No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”

³⁰Then Jesus, when he had received the vinegar, said: “It is consummated.” And bowing down his head, he surrendered his spirit.

⁵And you know that he appeared in order that he might take away our sins. For in him there is no sin.

¹²Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

²⁴Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever hears my word, and believes in him who sent me, has eternal life, and he does not go into judgment, but instead he crosses from death into life.

¹⁴and wiping away the handwriting of the decree which was against us, which was contrary to us. And he has taken this away from your midst, affixing it to the Cross.

¹⁵And so, I have been poured out like water, and all my bones have been scattered. My heart has become like wax, melting in the midst of my chest. ¹⁶My strength has dried up like clay, and my tongue has adhered to my jaws. And you have pulled me down, into the dust of death. ¹⁷For many dogs have surrounded me. The council of the malicious has besieged me. They have pierced my hands and feet. ¹⁸They have numbered all my bones. And they have examined me and stared at me. ¹⁹They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment, they cast lots.

⁷In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with the riches of his grace,
