Isaiah 53:2-3
53:2 He sprouted up like a twig before God,
like a root out of parched soil;
he had no stately form or majesty that might catch our attention,
no special appearance that we should want to follow him.
53:3 He was despised and rejected by people,
one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness;
people hid their faces from him;
he was despised, and we considered him insignificant.

20:13 Then
the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son;
perhaps they will respect him.’
20:14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir; let’s kill him so the inheritance will be ours!’
20:15 So
they threw him out of the vineyard and killed
him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

7:51 “You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors did!
