Acts 3:13-14 (ESV)
13 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. 14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
The Greek for servant here comes from a word which implies a child chastened in learning obedience through his stripes of correction. In this case He is the Son who bore our stripes as His own, paying the price for our disobedience.
