75. While on earth did Jesus at any time suffer from sickness?

That Christ was wearied we know from the inspired record of his life. There is no such record of his being sick at any time. In Matt. 8:17, Re­vised Version, we read: "Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sick­nesses."

Reference is apparently made to Isa. 53:4: "Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows." In verse 3 of the same chap­ter we read that he was acquainted with grief.

The words griefs and grief might be rendered respectively sicknesses and sickness; still, there is no assertion in these texts that Christ suffered disease of any kind, any more than the statement that he bare our sins implies that he sinned.

His obedience to all law, sanitary included, undoubtedly served to keep him in health.
