And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens:

He is despised and rejected by men; a Man of pain, and knowing infirmity; a hiding of faces; being despised, we have esteemed Him not.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

He trusted on Jehovah; let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him!

because I have borne reproach for Your sake, shame has covered my face.

For the zeal of Your house has eaten Me up; and the reproaches of those who reproached You have fallen upon Me.

I also cut off three shepherds in one month. And My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred Me.

Then they spat in His face and beat Him with the fist; and others slapped Him,

And two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

and saying, You who destroys the temple and builds it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

He saved others; He has no power to save Himself. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.

Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

And they all cried out at once, saying, Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas;

But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.

Then they all cried again, saying, Not this Man, but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber.

Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him! Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.

But they cried out, Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
