Isaiah 53:4,5

Surely he hath borne our griefs Whereas it may seem an incredible thing, that so excellent and glorious, and so innocent and holy a person should meet with this usage, it must be known that his griefs and miseries were not laid upon him for his own sake, but wholly for the sake of sinful men, in whose stead he stood, and for whose sins he suffered: yet we did esteem him Yet our people, the Jews, were so far from giving him the glory and praise of such astonishing condescension and compassion, that they made a most perverse construction of it; and so great was their prejudice against him, that they believed he was thus disgraced and punished, and, at last, put to death, by the just judgment of God, for his blasphemy and other manifold acts of wickedness. But, &c. This was a most false and unrighteous sentence. He was wounded

Which word comprehends all his pains and punishments, and his death among the rest; for our transgressions The prophet does not say by, but for them, or, because of them, namely, for the guilt of our sins, which he had voluntarily taken upon himself, and for the expiation of our sins, which was hereby purchased. The chastisement of our peace Those punishments by which our peace, our reconciliation to God, was to be purchased, were laid upon him, by God's justice, with his own consent. With his stripes we are healed By his sufferings we are saved from our sins, and from the dreadful effects thereof.
