A prophecy about the coming of Jesus in the old testament going to the cross,
and what he fullfilled for us when he died and rose again.
Isaiah 53:3 (Amplified Version)
3 He was despised and rejected
and forsaken by men,
a Man of sorrows and pains,
and acquainted with grief and sickness;
and like One from Whom men hide their faces
He was despised,
and we did not appreciate His worth or have
any esteem for Him.

4 Surely He has borne our griefs
(sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses)
and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment],
yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten,
and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities;
the chastisement
[needful to obtain]
peace and well-being
for us was upon Him,
and with the stripes
[that wounded] Him we are
healed and made whole.

1 peter 2:21-25 (Amplified Version)
21 For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation].
For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example,
so that you should follow in His footsteps.
For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example,
so that you should follow in His footsteps.
22 He was guilty of no sin, neither was deceit
(guile) ever found on His lips.
23 When He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile or offer insult in return;
[when] He was abused and suffered, He made no threats [of vengeance];
but he trusted [Himself and everything] to Him Who judges fairly.
