Commentary for 1 Peter 2:22
1 Peter 2:22 is part of a larger passage in the New Testament where the Apostle Peter is addressing Christians who are suffering persecution and hardships. The verse specifically references the life and character of Jesus Christ, drawing upon the imagery of Isaiah's prophecy about the Suffering Servant found in Isaiah 53. The theme of this verse is the sinless nature and innocence of Jesus.
In the historical context, Peter's audience would have been familiar with the concept of a sacrificial lamb without blemish, which is an allusion to the Old Testament sacrificial system. By stating that Jesus "did no sin," Peter emphasizes the perfection and moral purity of Christ, which qualifies Him as the spotless sacrifice for the sins of humanity. The phrase "neither was guile found in his mouth" speaks to Jesus' integrity and truthfulness. It indicates that during His trial and throughout His ministry, Jesus did not deceive or speak falsely, which is consistent with the portrayal of Jesus in the Gospels.
The verse underscores the example that Jesus set for believers, particularly in the face of unjust suffering. Peter encourages his readers to follow in Christ's steps, enduring hardships without retaliation or deceit, trusting in God's justice and faithfulness. In essence, 1 Peter 2:22 highlights the blameless life of Jesus as a model for Christians to emulate, and it reaffirms His role as the sinless Savior whose death and resurrection provide the means for humanity's redemption.
