What does the Bible say about Jesus taking our place?

In Matthew 26:47, Jesus is betrayed and taken away, reflecting the reality that He took our place in every sense—He was arrested for crimes He did not commit, while we, the guilty, were set free. The Lord took our punishment as seen in Matthew 27:26, where He was sentenced to die on behalf of sinners. This act of substitution is central to understanding the atonement. He took our sin upon Himself so that we might receive His righteousness, ultimately leading to our salvation and freedom from the bondage of sin.
