The Reason for His Suffering
Commentators unanimously affirm this verse teaches substitutionary atonement. Christ's suffering was not random or for his own sins, but specifically 'for our transgressions' and 'for our iniquities.' His pain was the direct result of, and the payment for, human sin. As scholars like Calvin note, this understanding removes the 'scandal' of the cross by revealing its divine, saving purpose.
