I hear this from a lot of Christians but don't think I have ever read it in the Bible unless I read it and interpreted it incorrectly. ?

That's all His bones. If God say man doesn't have the right then man doesn't have the right end of story.
I'm responding to the OP. As for objecting to ever tthe question being ask hell yes!
You are writing incoherently. You are making no sense.
If you are intoxicated or something, scripture has clear commandments relating to such things.
I don't know where you live. It is 7:42am here.These men are not drunk as you suppose, it's only 9:30 in the morning.
Wow. I clearly defined the issues.Or upinarms believe what the Holy Spirit wrote about His bones and not what make thinks about it.
If you don't believe Christ's face was crushed and brutalized, you have not read your Bible.
What we do know is that his bones were unbroken. Though that may only reflect major bones, not small fractures in facial bones. His legs were not broken, which was common to do to Crucified Criminals like what two thieves endured.
Jesus was dead, so none of his bones were broken. But that doesn't mean that he didn't have broken facial bones or what have you. Nor does it mean that he did. Either way: he was marred beyond human likeness. You couldn't recognize Him.
Isaiah 52:14b-15
...his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankindso shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they see, and that which they have not heard they understand.
Doesn't mean his face was crushed and if read in it's context, I believe it metaphorical.

53:2-5
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. 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. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows (Fulfilled in Christ's ministry, not the cross Mattew 8:17); yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. healed as in restored and changed, not referring to the physical body but to the soul. The entire context demands this reading. The only reference to physical healing and suffering was fulfilled already in Mathew long before the crucification]
I agree, that this is referring to spiritual healing as this is improperly interpreted most of the time. But still, it doesn't say anything about his face being crushed.
Mathew 26:67
Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him, saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?"
Mathew 27:29-30
...and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.
Being hit in the face is different than taking a bat to the face.
Luke 22:44;63-65
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground;
Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?" And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.
Being hit in the face is different than taking a bat to the face.
Mark 14:64-65
...And they all condemned him as deserving death. And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him with blows.
Still nothing about his face being crushed.
Mark 15:15;17-19
and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified;
and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him.
Note: A roman Scourging was generally so brutal and violent, victims subjected to it often died from the injuries from that alone. If you saw "The Passion of the Christ" The scourging was greatly toned down. A real scourging would have had his flesh flayed off, and some of his organs and bones exposed.
John 19:1-3
Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. They came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands.

Isaiah 53:6-12
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turnedevery oneto his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Forgive me for asking, but why does it matter?
It doesn't matter. I am as confused as you.Exactly...
Again... another pointless thread being argued by the same two people...
Ok, I think we are simply having a confusion of semantics.I appreciate the scripture... but it doesn't prove a "Crushed Face".. as you are putting forth.
Sure he was bloodied, marred, maybe even lost a few teeth.. .We don't know for sure.. but as someone already said... why does it even matter.
I am only responding because, your text don't prove anything... it's all circumstantial...
What part of the word "none" is difficult to understand?
Marred and crushed mean two different things. The word crushed can be physical and/or mental and/or emotional.
I believe the prophesy was "I can number all of my bones".In the last scripture you've quoted above you are trying to interpret it physical when to do so would go against the word "NONE".
Therefore, it has to be emotional or mental.

Bones do not have to be broken in order to mar.
Hmm, really? That is interesting. I was under the impression they fractured and then again fused as the head slowed in expansion.I don't believe the bones in the skull break, they do shift during birth do to the "soft spot." It takes a few months for the plates in the skull to fuse together.
