Isaiah 53:4-5

Isaiah 53:4-5. Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for out transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

He had not a pang to suffer on his own account, nothing to cause him grief in anything he had done: -

"For sins not his own, he died to atone;

Was love or was sorrow like this ever known?"

Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet, peradventure, for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
