![]() ![]() Therefore, being “healed” in both these verses is speaking of being forgiven and saved, not being physically healed. ![]() The verse is referring to sin and righteousness, not sickness and disease. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness by his wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24). However, the contexts of Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2 make it clear that they are referring to spiritual healing, not physical. The word “healed” as translated from both Hebrew and Greek, can mean either spiritual or physical healing. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the apostle Peter wrote, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness by His wounds you have been healed.” In Isaiah 53, Jesus’ future life on earth was foretold in the clearest of terms, to include his eventual torture and death: “But He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds (stripes) we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5 1 Peter 2:24).Īlthough these two verses are central to the topic of healing, they are often misunderstood and misapplied. He paid the total price for all of our transgressions. He also had to undergo the mental anguish brought on by the wrath of His Father, who punished Him for the sinfulness of mankind-sin carried out in spite of God’s repeated warnings, sin that Jesus willingly took upon Himself. Yet the physical pain and agony were not all Jesus suffered. When we picture this terrible, inhumane form of physical punishment we recoil in horror. The whips used were made of braided leather, with pottery shards and sharp stones affixed to the ends, which tore open the flesh of the prisoner with each cruel swing of the whip. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). ![]() “I am the way and the truth and the life. The phrase “by His stripes we are healed” refers to the punishment Jesus Christ suffered-floggings and beatings with fists that were followed by His agonizing death on a cross-to take upon Himself all of the sins of all people who believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. These stripes were administered by whipping the bare backs of prisoners whose hands and feet were bound, rendering them helpless. 12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.“Stripes,” (Isaiah 53:5 1 Peter 2:24) in the language of the King James Version of the Bible, and in some others, means “wounds,” as seen in more modern translations such as the New International Version. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.ġ0 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him He has put Him to grief. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray We have turned, every one, to his own way And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. ![]() 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.Ĥ Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He has no form or comeliness And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 53 1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. ![]()
