Took-bare; took them upon himself, and thus took them away from us. Such is the plain meaning of this passage, quoted from Isaiah 53:4. Bodily sickness is a part of the sorrow which sin has occasioned. By healing this, the Saviour shadowed forth the perfect redemption which he gives to our souls by taking our place, and being "wounded for our transgressions," and "bruised for our iniquities." Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24.
