Jesus the Suffering Savior

- v 11. What should you do when you find yourself in an ungodly environment? Get out. 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1.
- v 13-15, and continuing though chapter 53. Is there any doubt of whom the prophet speaks? Acts 8:32-35.

- v 3. Men would reject Him, even despising Him.
- v 4. He would suffer during His life on earth.
