Jesus is the divine plan, not a human doctor. Jesus bore our sickness upon
himself as stripes (Isaiah 53:5 and with his stripes we were healed).
Note the usage of bear in Exodus 28:38 - Aaron bore the inquities upon his
forehead.

metaphorical language added to the mix of what we are already trying to clarify with normal
language. I do not know how adding metaphor to metaphor helps us understand the text. Jesus did not
"bear" sickness of any kind, even if he (supposedly) healed any sickness. There is a
difference between bearing a sickness, which means that you suffer through it, and healing a
sickness. Doctors do not "bear" the sickness of their patients.
