Who Himself bore our sins

1 Peter 2:24
... who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree ...

Jesus, our Lord Yshua, put all of our sins onto Himself when He went to the cross. The agony during His prayer before the Transfiguration, maybe because of His realization of the separation from God because of the sins Yeshua put on Himself.

One very subtle point is that our Lord did not go to the Cross to prove Himself or gain acceptability as a sacrifice for our sins. Instead, it was to satisfy the Holy Justice of God, that the sins of humanity need to be paid for. And the only acceptable sacrifice is Jesus Himself who is totally pure.
