Question
"it is written that jesus carried our diseases , so why we suffer the pain and diseases"


Answer
Thank you for the question.  This seems like something we have seen in the Bible.  I searched the Bible but I could not find a verse that contains the words Jesus carried diseases.  I searched a combination of words, carry, carries, carries, sick, sickness, disease and others.  I also searched the word bear which is more common than the word carried.  I could not find any verse that fit the description, "Jesus carried our diseases."  You may be using a different translation.  If you know what verse you are referring to, please send it and I will see if I can answer your question.

I did find the following verses on Jesus and how He healed diseases and sickness.  

KJV Matthew 4:23
23.  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

KJV Matthew 9:35
35.  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

I also found the following text that describes how Jesus dealt with sin.

KJV Matthew 1:21
21.  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

KJV Matthew 9:2
2.  And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

KJV Mark 2:5
5.  When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

KJV John 1:29
29.  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

KJV John 8:21
21.  Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

KJV Acts 2:38
38.  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

KJV Romans 5:21
21.  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

KJV Romans 6:23
23.  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
