1 Peter 2:24:

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

Notes on 1 Peter 2:24:

It is clear that Peter refers to Isaiah 53:5.  Peter makes it clear that it was not just the sick at Capernaum or in Israel at large who were to be healed.  If this were the case, Peter would have said, “By whose stripes THEY were healed.”  Peter is talking about YOU because Isaiah talked about YOU.  Isaiah said that the Messiah was wounded for OUR transgressions, bruised for OUR iniquities, that the chastisement of OUR peace was upon Him, and with His stripes, WE are healed.  (The our’s and we’s in the verse include you!)  The people who were healed were the same people whose sins were forgiven.  To conclude otherwise, you must yank the last phrase completely out of its context.  You would also have to yank the last phrase out of context in 1 Peter 2:24, because it was OUR sins He bore and by His stripes, YOU were healed.  This is talking about the same people, not one set of people who get forgiveness and only a subset who get healing.

How do we know that this is physical healing and not “spiritual healing” as some claim?  This matter is handled in detail in the article Objection: By Jesus’ Stripes We Were Spiritually, Not Physically, Healed, but here are some thoughts to get you started.  Isaiah said in Isaiah 53:4 that the Messiah bore our sicknesses and carried our pains.  He bore our sins and our sicknesses as our substitute.  Also, the Greek word that Peter used for healed is used of physical healings over two dozen times in the New Testament.  Besides, you get a new spirit when you’re born again – you aren’t spiritually “healed” anyway!  The context of 1 Peter 2:24 is what Jesus bore in His body at the whipping post and then the cross in your place.
