Is. 52:13    Behold, My servant will prosper, 
He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted. 
14  Just as many were astonished at you, My people, 
So His appearance was marred more than any man 
And His form more than the sons of men. 
15  Thus He will sprinkle many nations, 
Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; 
For what had not been told them they will see, 
And what they had not heard they will understand. 
Is. 53:1    Who has believed our message? 
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 
2  For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, 
And like a root out of parched ground; 
He has no stately form or majesty 
That we should look upon Him, 
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. 
3  He was despised and forsaken of men, 
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; 
And like one from whom men hide their face 
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 
Is. 53:4    Surely our griefs He Himself bore, 
And our sorrows He carried; 
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, 
Smitten of God, and afflicted. 
5  But He was pierced through for our transgressions, 
He was crushed for our iniquities; 
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, 
And by His scourging we are healed. 
6  All of us like sheep have gone astray, 
Each of us has turned to his own way; 
But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all 
To fall on Him. 
Is. 53:7    He was oppressed and He was afflicted, 
Yet He did not open His mouth; 
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, 
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, 
So He did not open His mouth. 
8  By oppression and judgment He was taken away; 
And as for His generation, who considered 
That He was cut off out of the land of the living 
For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9  His grave was assigned with wicked men, 
Yet He was with a rich man in His death, 
Because He had done no violence, 
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. 
Is. 53:10    But the LORD was pleased 
To crush Him, putting Him to grief; 
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, 
He will see His offspring, 
He will prolong His days, 
And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand. 
11  As a result of the anguish of His soul, 
He will see it and be satisfied; 
By His knowledge the Righteous One, 
My Servant, will justify the many, 
As He will bear their iniquities. 
12  Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, 
And He will divide the booty with the strong; 
Because He poured out Himself to death, 
And was numbered with the transgressors; 
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, 
And interceded for the transgressors. 

1Pet. 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,  22 WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;  23 and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;  24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.  25 For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls. 

Acts 8:32  Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: 
“HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER; 
AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT, 
SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH. 
33  “IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY; 
WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION? 
FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH.” 
34 The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?”  35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. 

Rev. 5:6   And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 

Rev. 5:12 saying with a loud voice, 
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” 

Rev. 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. 

Rom. 4:25 He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification. 

Heb. 9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
