17: This quote is from Isaiah 53:4, which is one of the greatest chapter about Christ in all of prophecy. To think that the very Son of God Almighty has taken our sins upon himself is quite amazing. We would never think it if it had not been God who told us. Also, it is said here that he removes our diseases upon himself. Though we remain in this present sinful body, we have a promise of a future glorified body made on fashion of this one that will have no diseases. thus, this part of it has a literal fulfillment as well.
