He took our infirmities

Isaiah 53:4

Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted.

Isaiah 53:4 says that the Servant took on infirmities and carried sorrows; after Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law and many others, Matthew 8:17 quotes Isaiah and says that this was to fulfill what the prophet had spoken.
