1 Peter2:22

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth .

This signifies Christ's absolute Perfection, in that he did not offend so much as with his mouth, Iam. 3.2. The sense is, Christ was free from all manner of Sin, and yet he suffered patiently; and therefore well may ye be content to suffer too, though wrongfully; seeing though ye may be innocent in your sufferings, yet you come so far short of Christ's perfection.

i. e. There was no guile in his mouth, it is an Hebraism, to be found is the same as to be, and not to be found, the same as not to be, Gen. 2.20. Isa. 39.2. see Rom. 7.10.

Marginal references: Isa. 53.9. 2 Cor. 5.21.
