Behold, the Lamb of God

The redemptive sacrifice, the scourging, the crucifixion, and the agony on the cross

23

He was despised

24

Surely, He hath borne our griefs

25

And with His stripes we are healed

26

All we like sheep have gone astray

27

All they that see Him laugh Him to scorn

28

He trusted in God

29

Thy rebuke hath broken His heart

30

Behold, and see if there be any sorrow

Thou art gone up on high

Pentecost (Whitsun), the gift of tongues, the beginning of evangelism

Their sound is gone out
