Surely He has borne our griefs, sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses and carried our sorrows and pains of punishment, yet we ignorantly considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God, as if with leprosy. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement needful to obtain peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him we are healed and made whole.
