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 our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
The sins He bare in His body were the wounds of sins unjustly done against Him.
Nowhere in the Bible does God ever 'place upon' Jesus our sins upon the cross. That is a common error of Christians that know nothing about the source of sin, which is only by sinning.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
There is no such thing as some sin 'thing', that God can magically gather up like mysterious spirit-sprinkles and put them somewhere else, than where they were committed. Acts are done and finished. The only acts that can be 'taken and put' from one place to another, is the axe.
Sin is by sinning only. It is an act that once done produces death of the spirit and life of men and angels alike. Once the act of sin is committed, then like any act it is done and gone into history. There is no way to 'pick up' a past act. All that does remains is the price for it in life.
What Jesus bore in His own body was the wounds of sinful men doing unjust sinful things to Him. They began with His arrest, slapping and spitting on the face, scourging, thorns on the head, bearing a wood beam up a hill, and finally crucified on the cross and stabbed in the side.
These are the sins that He bore in His own body. As Thomas put it, they are the prints of sin and injustice done to Him. All that remains of the sins committed against Jesus on the cross, are the wounds resulting from the acts.
They are counted as our works of unjustly sinning against Him, and not just the Jews and Romans personally doing them, because He paid the price for all our sinning by taking their unjust punishments without Himself sinning.
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Jesus did not 'take upon' Himself the 'sins' of the world, but the Word only took upon His soul a body of flesh like all men. What He did take upon Himself at the cross, was the brutal unjust beating and nailing of His body to a tree.
So much bogus Christian traditions comes from use of words that sound really good, but are blind ignorance to the exact wording of the Bible.
God 'putting our sins' on His own Son, and His Son 'taking upon' Himself our sins is only the ignorant transmission of another traditional lie: That sin is some 'thing' independent of an act done by angels and men that sinned. That man is made with the 'sin thing' put into the seed and flesh of man.
There is no sin 'thingy', but only a sinful act, which begins in the heart by lusting against the goodness and holiness of God.
And there certainly is not any flesh on earth made with sin by Jesus Christ.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
