Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Peter 2:24

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree , that we being dead unto sin should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes ye were healed .

Not by offering any other Sacrifice (as the Levitical Priests did) but by that of himself.

Or took up, or lifted up, in allusion to the Sacrifices of the Old Testament, the same word being used of them, Heb. 7.27. Iam. 2.21. As the Sins of the Offerer were typically laid upon the Sacrifice, which, being substituted in his place, was likewise slain in his stead; so Christ standing in our room, took upon him the guilt of our Sins, and bare their Punishment, Isa. 53.4. &c. The Lord laid on him our iniquities, and he willingly took them up; and by bearing their Curse, took away our guilt. Or, it may have respect to the Cross, on which Christ being lifted up (Iohn 3.14, 15. & 12.32.) took up our Sins with him, and expiated their guilt by undergoing that Death which was due to us for them.

This doth not exclude his Soul, but is rather to be understood, by a Synecdoche, of his whole human Nature, and we have the Sufferings of his Soul mentioned, Isa. 53.10, 12. Iohn 12.27.) but mention is made of his Body, because the Sufferings of that were most visible.

On the Cross.

Another end of Christ's Death, the mortification of Sin, and our being freed from the Dominion of it, Rom. 6.2, 6. and being reformed to a Life of Holiness.

Viz. of the Wound made in your Souls by Sin; this seems to relate to the Blows that Servants might receive of Cruel Masters, against which the Apostle comforts them, and to the patient bearing of which he exhorts them, because Christ by bearing Stripes (a servile punishment) under which may be comprehended all the Sufferings of his Death, had healed them of much worse Wounds, and Spiritual Diseases, the guilt of their Consciences, and the defilement of their Souls.
