The prophecy of Isaiah offers profound insight, particularly in the interpretation of the words "griefs" and "sorrows." Scholars argue these should be understood as "sicknesses" and "pains."
Isaiah 53:4
"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." (KJV)
Isaiah's message reveals that Jesus' sacrifice was not limited to our sins; it extended to our sicknesses and pains. Numerous Bible translations reinforce this interpretation:
- "The Bible: An American Translation" by J. M. Powis Smith and Edgar J. Goodspeed uses "pains" and "sorrows."
- "The Holy Scriptures According To The Masoretic Text" by The Jewish Publication Society adopts "diseases" and "pains."
- "The Emphasized Bible" by J. B. Rotherham prefers "sicknesses" and "pains."
- "The New American Bible" translates them as "infirmities" and "sufferings."
- "The New English Bible" uses "sufferings" and "torments."
Other scholars like Young and Leeser also align with this interpretation, emphasizing that Jesus' death addressed both our spiritual and physical ailments.
In the Gospel of Matthew, this interpretation is expanded:
Matthew 8:16-17
"When the evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." (KJV)
Matthew echoes Isaiah, using "infirmities" and "sicknesses." Respected commentators like MacClaren and Hebrew scholar Delitzsch support this view, emphasizing "sicknesses" and "diseases."
What Jesus bore, we no longer have to endure. He carried our sins and our sicknesses, offering relief from both. This is the profound gift of our Savior.
Through faith, Christians are integrated into this healing promise alongside Abraham's descendants. Jesus' sacrifice encompasses our physical well-being as well, allowing us to seek healing through belief in his transformative power.
