The Death of the Messiah [21-12]

The prophets also told about how the Messiah would die. Isaiah prophesied that people would spit on, mock, and beat the Messiah. They would pierce him and he would die in great suffering and agony, even though he had not done anything wrong.

先知们也预言了弥赛亚如何死去。以赛亚预言弥赛亚被吐口水，被讥笑，被打。然后他会被刺透并被挂在树上，并死去。
