Mark 10:45

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom ¹  for many.”

Isa 53:10-12; Da 9:24,26; Mt 20:28; Lu 22:26,27; Joh 13:14; 2Co 5:21; Ga 3:13; Php 2:5-8; 1Ti 3:4-6; Tit 2:14; Heb 5:8; 1Pe 1:19

¹ sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Matt 20:28 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave. The idea of Jesus as the “ransom” is that he paid the price with his own life by standing in humanity’s place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that was deserved for sin.
