Is 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

'sheep' צאן is a thorn צן which is separated א. Jesus said the thorns were the cares of the world. His separated sheep were the ones he cared for in the world. His crown of thorns indicated he was king over his separated sheep.

'turned every one to his own way' This indictment was made of Israel " ... every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes. (Jud 17:6) And it is the same sin of Adam when he decided to make his own rules by eating the fruit. When we choose what is right and wrong, we do not acknowledge God as God, and that he is the one by whom Good is defined.

'the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all' The Lord laid our sin on him (he had none of his own).
