Bible Verses about the cross and the purpose of Good Friday

• Psalm 22:1, 14-18 ESV
  My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
      Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
  

  I am poured out like water,
      and all my bones are out of joint;
  my heart is like wax;
      it is melted within my breast;
  ¹⁵ my strength is dried up like a potsherd,
      and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
      you lay me in the dust of death.

  ¹⁶ For dogs encompass me;
      a company of evildoers encircles me;
  they have pierced my hands and feet—
  ¹⁷ I can count all my bones—
  they stare and gloat over me;
  ¹⁸ they divide my garments among them,
      and for my clothing they cast lots.

• Isaiah 53:3-6 ESV
  He was despised and rejected by men;
      a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
  and as one from whom men hide their faces
      he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
  ⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs
      and carried our sorrows;
  yet we esteemed him stricken,
      smitten by God, and afflicted.
  ⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions;
      he was crushed for our iniquities;
  upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
      and with his wounds we are healed.
  ⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray;
      we have turned—every one—to his own way;
  and the Lord has laid on him
      the iniquity of us all.
• Zechariah 12:10 ESV
  “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.

• Romans 5:6-10 ESV
   For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.⁷ For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— ⁸ but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. ¹⁰ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
