And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith ,.... In Isaiah 53:12 ; and he was numbered with the transgressors : he was no transgressor of the law of God himself, but was perfectly conformable to it in his holy nature, harmless conversation, and complete obedience: he knew no sin, nor committed any in thought, word, or deed, nor could any be found in him by men or devils; and yet he was traduced as a sinner, and charged with many foul things, none of which could be proved upon him:... read more

Let Christ the king of Israel ,....
