"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces
from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not" (Isaiah 53:3).
"Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and
go to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He
now showed them the full extent of His love" (John
13:1).
