Commentary on Matthew 8:17
Matthew quotes Isaiah 53:4 to explain Jesus' healing ministry as fulfillment of messianic prophecy. The phrase 'Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses' connects Christ's healing miracles to His substitutionary atonement. While the ultimate fulfillment is the cross bearing our sins, the healings demonstrated His identification with human suffering and power to deliver from all effects of the fall. This shows the incarnate Son entering fully into human misery to redeem it.
