He committed no sin
This phrase speaks to the sinless nature of Jesus Christ. The Greek word for "sin" here is "hamartia," which means missing the mark or falling short of God's standard. In the context of the New Testament, it emphasizes moral failure or wrongdoing. The assertion that Jesus "committed no sin" is foundational to Christian theology, affirming His role as the perfect, unblemished sacrifice for humanity's sins. Historically, this claim sets Jesus apart from all other figures, as even the most revered prophets and leaders in the Bible acknowledged their own sinfulness. This sinlessness is crucial for His role as the mediator between God and man, as only a sinless being could atone for the sins of others.

and no deceit was found in His mouth
The phrase "no deceit" comes from the Greek word "dolos," which means guile, trickery, or craftiness. This highlights the purity and truthfulness of Jesus' speech and actions. In a historical context, deceit was often used by leaders and teachers to manipulate or control. However, Jesus' ministry was marked by transparency and truth, fulfilling the prophecy from Isaiah 53:9, which speaks of the suffering servant who would be without deceit. This characteristic of Jesus underscores His divine nature and His commitment to truth, serving as a model for believers to emulate in their own lives. The absence of deceit in His mouth signifies the integrity and trustworthiness of His teachings, which are foundational to the Christian faith.

(22) Who did no sin.--This verse is not to be taken by itself, but in the closest conjunction with the following. It is not the sinlessness of Christ by itself that is here set as an example before the servants, but His sinlessness in combination with His ill-treatment, or rather, His meekness under the combination. St. Peter again adapts the words of Isaiah (Isaiah 53:9) to his purpose. The word there was one of violent transgression; St. Peter substitutes the simple word which he had used in 1Peter 2:20, "fault"--"who never made a fault"--such as household servants were often committing--"neither was guile found in His mouth"--again referring to what was common with servants--petty acts of dishonesty, and petty deceits to screen themselves from punishment. One thing which lends special point to the allusion to Isaiah's prophecy is that Israel is in that passage spoken of under the title of God's "servant," a thought familiar to St. Peter long ago in connection with Christ. (See Note on Acts 3:13.)

Verse 22. - Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. St. Peter is quoting the Septuagint Version of Isaiah 53:9, almost exactly, the word ἁμαρτίαν, sin, being substituted for ἀνομίαν, lawlessness ("violence" in our version). We should notice that the Messiah, whose example is here set before Christian slaves, is called by the prophet "the Servant of Jehovah" (Isaiah lit. 13). Slaves were often tempted to deceit and guile; they must look to the Lord Jesus, and strive to copy his innocence and his truth. The verb εὑρίσκεσθαι, to be found, is sometimes said to be used, by a Hebraism, for the simple verb "to be." Winer says, "Between these two verbs, however, there is always this distinction, that, whilst εϊναι, indicates the quality of a thing in itself, εὑρίσκεσθαι indicates the quality in so far as it is discovered, detected, recognized, in the subject" ('Greek Grammar,' 65:8).
