What does the Bible say about Jesus being numbered with the transgressors?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible states that Jesus was numbered with the transgressors as a fulfillment of Scripture, indicating His role as the sin-bearing representative for His people (Mark 15:28).
The fulfillment of the prophecy that Jesus would be numbered with the transgressors is vividly illustrated in Mark 15:28. This event signifies that Christ, though sinless, stood as the greatest malefactor among sinners, identifying Himself with humanity’s transgressions. He was not only viewed as a criminal by men but was, in the sight of God, the great surety for His people. In taking upon Himself the sins of His people, Jesus was made sin and a curse, thus fulfilling the righteousness of the law by being the perfect sacrifice to atone for sin (Isaiah 53:11-12).
