Our Lord Jesus\r\nChrist, the Sceptre of the majesty of God, did not come in\r\nthe pomp of pride or arrogance, although He might have\r\ndone so, but in a lowly condition, as the Holy Spirit had\r\ndeclared regarding Him. For He says, “Lord, who hath\r\nbelieved our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?\r\nWe have declared [our message] in His presence:\r\nHe is, as it were, a child, and like a root in thirsty ground;\r\nHe has no form nor glory, yea, we saw Him, and He had no\r\nform nor comeliness; but His form was without eminence,\r\nyea, deficient in comparison with the [ordinary] form of men.\r\nHe is a man exposed to stripes and suffering, and acquainted\r\nwith the endurance of grief: for His countenance was turned\r\naway; He was despised, and not esteemed. He bears our\r\niniquities, and is in sorrow for our sakes; yet we supposed that\r\n[on His own account] He was exposed to labour, and stripes,\r\nand affliction. But He was wounded for our transgressions,\r\nand bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our\r\npeace was upon Him, and by His stripes we were healed.\r\nAll we, like sheep, have gone astray; [every] man has wandered\r\nin his own way; and the Lord has delivered Him up\r\nfor our sins, while He in the midst of His sufferings openeth\r\nnot His mouth. He was brought as a sheep to the slaughter,\r\nand as a lamb before her shearer is dumb, so He openeth not\r\nHis mouth. In His humiliation His judgment was taken\r\naway; who shall declare His generation? for His life is\r\ntaken from the earth. For the transgressions of my people\r\nwas He brought down to death. And I will give the wicked\r\nfor His sepulchre, and the rich for His death,<a id=\"r64\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f64\"><sup>[64]</sup></a> because He did\r\nno iniquity, neither was guile found in His mouth. And the\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_19\">19</span>Lord is pleased to purify Him by stripes.<a id=\"r65\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f65\"><sup>[65]</sup></a> If ye make<a id=\"r66\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f66\"><sup>[66]</sup></a> an\r\noffering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed. And\r\nthe Lord is pleased to relieve Him of the affliction of His\r\nsoul, to show Him light, and to form Him with understanding,<a id=\"r67\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f67\"><sup>[67]</sup></a>\r\nto justify the Just One who ministereth well to many;\r\nand He Himself shall carry their sins. On this account He\r\nshall inherit many, and shall divide the spoil of the strong;\r\nbecause His soul was delivered to death, and He was reckoned\r\namong the transgressors, and He bare the sins of many, and\r\nfor their sins was He delivered.”<a id=\"r68\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f68\"><sup>[68]</sup></a> And again He saith, “I\r\nam a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of\r\nthe people. All that see me have derided me; they have\r\nspoken with their lips; they have wagged their head, [saying]\r\nHe hoped in God, let Him deliver Him, let Him save Him,\r\nsince He delighteth in Him.”<a id=\"r69\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f69\"><sup>[69]</sup></a> Ye see, beloved, what is the\r\nexample which has been given us; for if the Lord thus\r\nhumbled Himself, what shall we do who have through Him\r\ncome under the yoke of His grace?</p>","headings":["The Writings of the Apostolic Fathers","THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT.","THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT TO THE CORINTHIANS.","Chap. xvi.—Christ as an example of humility."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg77576-paragraph-60"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"f950bb42d7a196a6b98aa5c2aa48fe34cf405d92571154eb00062927943f63d9","edition_title":"The writings of the Apostolic Fathers","edition_translators":["Alexander Roberts","James Donaldson","Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1870,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg77576-f65","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
