He Died For Our Sicknesses and DiseasesHe Died For Our Sicknesses and Diseases

y Isaiah 53.4-6 says:

y Surely He [Christ] hath borne our griefs [, choli],

and carried our sorrows [, makob].

Surely He has borne our sicknessesand carried our pains.




y Surely He [Christ] hath borne [nasa] our sicknesses, andcarried [sabal] our pains.

y N asa:y to suffer the punishment for

y Lev 5:1 And if a soul sin . . . then he shall bear [nasa] his

iniquity.y Isa. 53:12 And He [Christ] was numbered with the

transgressors; and he bare [nasa] the sin of many.

y He bore our sins the same way He bore our sicknesses!




y Surely He [Christ] hath borne [nasa] our sicknesses, and carried[sabal] our pains.

y S abal :y to bear something as a penalty or chastisement.y Lam. 5:7, "Our fathers have sinned . . . and we have borne [sabal] their

iniquities.y Isa. 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied ... for

he shall bear [sabal] their iniquities."

y He bore [nasa] our sicknesses and carried [sabal] our pains. (v. 4)y for he shall bear [sabal] their iniquities and he bare [nasa] the sin of

many , and made intercession for the transgressors. (v. 11-12)



Isaiah 53.4y "Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, and our pains he

hath carried them" (Isa. 53:4, YLT).

y But only our disease did he bear himself , and our painshe carried. (Isa. 53:4, ILT)

y But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were puton him: (Isa. 53:4, BBE)

y Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried oursuffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. (Isa. 53:4, World English Bible)



Holy Spirits Commentary:y When the even was come, they brought

unto him many that were possessed

with devils: and he cast out the spiritswith his word, and healed all that weresick: That it might be fulfilled whichwas spoken by Esaias [Isaiah] theprophet, saying, Himself took ourinfirmities, and bare our sicknesses.(Matt. 8.16-17)



Fulf illed?y Some attack Matt. 8.17:

y Fulfilment in Christs ministry , not in redemptiony Healing was for then, not now.

y Response 1:y Matt. 12.14-21

y Jewish Council want to destroy Jesusy He heals the crowdsy

That it might be fulfilled (pter othe) that which was spoke of Esaiasthe prophet saying Behold My Servant, whom I have chosen... A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He notquench... And in His name the Gentiles shall trust. (quoting Isa.42.1-4)

y If healing is over, then all this is OVER!



Fulf illed?y Some attack Matt. 8.17:

y Fulfilment in Christs ministry , not in redemption

y Healing was for then, not now.

y Response 2:

y Luke 4.17-21

y Gospel preached to poory Notice where Jesus stops reading.

y This Scripture is fulfilled (pter othe) in your hearing.

y Is preaching the gospel for then and not now?



Isaiah 53.4 and 53.5y Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our

sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of

God, and afflicted.y But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was

bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of ourpeace was upon him; and with his stripes we are

healed.



New Covenant Healingy Matt. 8.17: Himself took our infirmities

y tas astheneias hemon (the sicknesses of us).

y 1 Cor. 15.3: Christ died for our sins

y ton hamartibn hemon (for the sins of us).

y 1 Pet 2.24 Who his own self bare our sins in His body on the tree

y tas hamartias hemon (the sins of us

y 1 John 4:10, ". . . and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."

y ton hamartion hemon (for the sins of us).

y Greek word for "us" (hemon) in Matthew 8:17, First Cor-inthians 15:3, FirstPeter 2:24, and First John 4:10 must mean that Christ took the infirmities andsicknesses of the very same persons for whose sins He died. Any otherconclusion is most unscholarly and gives a false meaning entirely to the Greektext. Greek is such an exact language that if different persons were here meant, this fact would most assuredly have been indicated by some word or phrase of

differentiation. (T J McCrossan)



Who Says?

y A. J. Gordon ( M inistry of Healing, pages 16,17), "T he

yok e of H is cr oss by which He lif ted our iniquities, took hol d al so of our d iseases; He who entered into myster ious sympathy with our pain which is thef r uit of sin al so put H imself under neath our pain,

which is

the penal ty of

sin. I n other word

sthe p

assageseems to teach that Chr ist end ured vicar iousl y our

d iseases, as well as our iniquities."



Who Says?

y A. B. Simpson ( T he Gospel of Healing,

page 17): "Therefore as He hath borne our sins, JesusChrist has also borne away , and carried off oursicknesses; yea, and even our pains, so that abiding inHim, we may be fully delivered from both sickness and

pain.T

hus by His stripes we are healed. Blessed andglorious Burden-Bearer.''



1 Peter 2.24y Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the

tree . . . by whose stripes ye were healed [iaomai]

y I aomai

y Healed

y This word is used 28 times in the NT and never with any subject than physical healing

y The Greek word for doctor is iatros, which comes fromthis word

y You can be totally confident this is referring to physicalhealing



1 Peter 2.24y Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree .

. . by whose stripes [molopi] ye were healed ."

y Molopiy Bruise (singular), literally the mark of a blow

y Why not plural?

y Matt. 27.26 ". . . and when he [Pilate] had scourged Jesus, he

delivered him to be crucified."



1 Peter 2.24y Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree .

. . by whose stripes [molopi] ye were healed ."

y If you could see multiple stripes on Christs back, then the Greekword would have to be in the plural. It is in the singular, as it isin the Greek translation of Isaiah 53.5

y The use of singular tells us, as clearly as language can express it, that

Jesus back had been so terribly scourged that no one blow couldpossibly be distinguished from the other. Every spot on His backwas so bruised and lacerated that it was just like one great bruise.Had there been one quarter inch of space between any two of thebruises, the Greek here must then have read molopsi (bruises) andnot molopi (bruise).



Roman Scourgingy Jewish law = maximum 40 stripesy Roman law = no maximum number

y Taken by soldiers, Stripped nakedy Bound stooping, hands tied roughly behind your back to a post or block.y Beaten repeatedly by many soldiers with knotted rope and a rope containing

leather thongs twisted with acorn shaped drops of lead or small sharp bones.y Many times people diedy Many times eyes, cheeks, buttocks and teeth were ripped off the victimy

Soldiers deliberately went for the Jews.y Historians tell us of eye witnesses to scourging that could see the veins, muscles

and sinews of the people whipped, even their intestines and bowels could beexposed.

By His bruise [not bruises], y e were healed



Old Testament Images1. Lev. 14.1-7
