What does the Bible say about Jesus being numbered among transgressors?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus was numbered among transgressors to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah 53, signifying His role as our substitute for sin.

In Luke 22:37, Jesus Himself states that He must be numbered among transgressors, referencing Isaiah 53:12, which foretells the Messiah's sacrificial role. This is crucial in understanding the substitutionary atonement where Christ, though sinless, bears the sins of others. Isaiah 53 presents Him as the sinless Lamb of God, who, being perfect, willingly takes upon Himself the iniquities that belong to His people, affirming that He was our substitute.
Scripture References: Luke 22:37, Isaiah 53:12
