What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
When, by Pilate's order, He was scourged, He endured on His body the wounds from the blows as well.
Oecumenius
"As dead to sins." For having become estranged by sins, (ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι), it is taken for ἀποθάνοντες, that is, dead. "by whose stripes you were healed." For having been scourged by Pilate, he also bore scourges in the body.
Clement of Alexandria
Mistake is a sin contrary to calculation; and voluntary sin is crime; and crime is voluntary wickedness. Sin, then, is on my part voluntary. Wherefore says the apostle, "Sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace." Addressing those who have believed, he says, "For by His stripes we were healed." Mistake is the involuntary action of another towards me, while a crime alone is voluntary, whether my act or another's.
Western Saints
Bede
He himself bore our sins, etc. Whereas previously he spoke specifically to servants, now he admonishes in general that even masters be reminded of what God and the Lord endured for them. Indeed, he instructs the whole Church on what the Maker endured for its liberation. For he did not say "your sins," but also added himself: "He bore our sins in his body on the tree."
