Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 2:21-23

1 Peter 2:21-23. For even hereunto Namely, to suffer wrongfully, and to bear such treatment with patience and meekness; are ye Christians called; because Christ Whose followers you profess to be, pure and spotless as he was; suffered for us Not only hard speeches, buffetings, and stripes, but deep and mortal wounds, even the ignominious and painful death of crucifixion; leaving us When he returned to heaven; an example of suffering patiently for well-doing; that ye should follow... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 2:24-25

1 Peter 2:24-25. Who his own self In his own person, and by the sacrifice of himself, and not of another, (Hebrews 9:28,) bare our sins That is, the punishment due to them; in his afflicted, torn, dying body on the tree The cross, whereon chiefly slaves or servants were wont to suffer. The apostle alludes to Isaiah 53:12; He bare the sins of many. “The phrase, bearing sin, is often used in the Old Testament. It signifies sometimes the making atonement for sin, Leviticus 10:17;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:11-25

2:11-3:12 CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIPSIn society (2:11-25)The present world is not the true home of those who have come into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. They are now God’s people and they belong to the heavenly kingdom. But their higher status and greater citizenship do not give them the right to do as they like in the present world. They must discipline and control themselves. Negatively, they must not give in to the desires of the sinful nature; positively, they must maintain right... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:23

who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:This is a further deployment upon the sacred page of the beautiful and sinless character of the Saviour. Any person familiar with the Passion of Jesus can visualize what Peter related here. In fact the very words Peter wrote seem to have a suggestion of eyewitness testimony; and this is natural, coming from Peter who was indeed an eyewitness of those very... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:24

who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.See under 1 Peter 2:25 for a list of references here to Isaiah 53. Scripture could not state more plainly the great redemptive offering of Christ for our sins on the cross. There was a time when Peter himself resented this (Matthew 16:22), but how gloriously he had learned his lesson.In what way did Christ bear our sins? He bore the consequence... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:25

For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.The two titles, Shepherd and Bishop, are here applied to the Lord Jesus Christ. One can only marvel that a scholar like Barclay would ascribe these titles as being referred here to God. He said, "These are two precious names for God."[54] Jesus himself said, "I am the good shepherd" (John 10:14), appropriating the title in such a manner as to affirm his Godhead, without giving the Pharisees any... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:23

1 Peter 2:23. Who, when he was reviled, &c.— Our Lord, during the course of his teaching and ministry, pronounced dreadful woes and denunciations against the wicked and hypocritical Scribes and Pharisees: but when he came to suffer, he forbore, lest his denunciations should be thought to proceed, not from a love of truth and righteousness, but from anger and hatred, and resentment of the cruel usage which he met with. Amidst all the barbarous treatment which he suffered, he never uttered... read more
