Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Mosiah 14:4-6
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed
All we, like sheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all.
Part of the infinite nature of the Atonement is that Christ bore our sorrows even as we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.
And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people.…
And thus God breaketh the bands of death, having gained the victory over death; giving the Son power to make intercession for the children of men
Mosiah 15:5,8
