Isaiah 53:7-9

New International Version

⁷He was oppressed^(A) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(B)
he was led like a lamb^(C) to the slaughter,^(D)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸By oppression^[a] and judgment^(E) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(F)
    for the transgression^(G) of my people he was punished.^[b]
⁹He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(H)
    and with the rich^(I) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(J)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(K)

Matthew 24:6-14

New International Version

⁶You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁷Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.^(A) There will be famines^(B) and earthquakes in various places. ⁸All these are the beginning of birth pains.

⁹“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted^(C) and put to death,^(D) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.^(E) ¹⁰At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, ¹¹and many false prophets^(F) will appear and deceive many people.^(G) ¹²Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, ¹³but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.^(H) ¹⁴And this gospel of the kingdom^(I) will be preached in the whole world^(J) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
