I wanted to find a YouTube clip of a classical British actor reading of Christ’s Passion from the KJV. There must be such a thing, but I can’t find it among the morass of American, Spanish and Pentecostal recordings. That seems to signify the growing irrelevance of Anglicanism and Englishness in this digital world.
But, who needs Ken Branagh when you can read the greatest book ever written at the click of a mouse. As it is Easter, here is ‘The Suffering
Servant’ prophesy — taken from the book of Isaiah, chapter 53.
1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire
him.
