Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
All Commentaries on 1 Peter 2:24 Go To 1 Peter 2
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
The ass was the type of the body of Christ, upon whom all men, resting from their labours, are borne as in a chariot. For the Saviour has taken up the burden of our sins.
