This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Bare (ἀνήνεγκεν)
See on 1Pe 2:5. Bare up to the cross, as to an altar, and offered himself thereon.
The tree (ξύλον)
Lit., wood. Peter uses the same peculiar term for the cross, Act 5:30; Act 10:39.
Being dead (ἀπογενόμενοι)
Rev., more strictly, having died. Used here only in the New Testament. The rendering of the verb can be given only in a clumsy way, having become off unto sin; not becoming separate from sins, but having ceased to exist as regards them. Compare Rom 6:18.
Stripes (μώλωπι)
Lit., bruise. So Rev., in margin. Only here in New Testament; meaning a bloody wale which arises under a blow. “Such a sight we feel sure, as we read this descriptive passage, St. Peter's eyes beheld on the body of his Master, and the flesh so dreadfully mangled made the disfigured form appear in his eyes like one single bruise” (Lumby).
