Isaiah 53:5

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5 KJV)


Let me break it down for you... I used the Strong's Concordance for a better understanding of each word.


"But he (Christ Jesus our Lord) was wounded (bore into, wedged/pried open) for our transgressions (rebellion), he was bruised (crumbled, broken
                                                                  into crumbs/pieces) for our iniquities (perversity): the chastisement
                                                                  (discipline/punishment) of our peace ["those punishments by which our
                                                                  peace, our reconciliation with God, was to be purchased" (Wesley)] was
                                                                  upon him; and with his stripes (blueness, weals, black and blue marks) 
                                                                  we are healed (mended by stitching, cured, repaired as if by a skilled
                                                                  physician)." (Isaiah 53:5 KJV)
