The Messiah^[a] also suffered for you
    and left an example for you
        to follow in his steps.
²²“He never sinned,
    and he never told a lie.”^[b]
²³When he was insulted,
    he did not retaliate.
When he suffered,
    he did not threaten.
It was his habit
    to commit the matter to the one who judges fairly.
