What does the Bible say about the wounds of Jesus?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sins.

According to Isaiah 53:5, 'He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities.' This key verse emphasizes the significance of Jesus' suffering as a substitutionary atonement for sin. His wounds symbolize the price He paid to satisfy divine justice and offer forgiveness to His people. Just as Thomas saw and recognized the wounds of the Lord, believers are called to understand that these wounds are representative of the love and grace that God extends through Christ for our redemption. Each wound correlates to the various ways sin affects humanity—His head was wounded for our wicked thoughts, His heart was pierced for our deceitful inclinations, and His hands were nailed for our sinful actions.
