It is not concerning [a lack of] your sacrifices [that] I rebuke you, and your burnt offerings [are] before me continually.

For you do not delight [in] sacrifice or I would give [it]. [With] a burnt offering you are not pleased.

What [is the] abundance of your sacrifices to me? says Yahweh. I have had enough [of] burnt offerings of rams and [the] fat [of] fattened animals and I do not delight in [the] blood of bulls and ram-lambs and goats.

The one who slaughters bull strikes a man; the one who slaughters lamb for sacrifice breaks the neck [of] a dog. The one who offers an offering, [the] blood of swine; the one who offers frankincense blesses an idol. Indeed, they themselves have chosen their ways, and their soul delights in their abhorrence.

And to love him from your whole heart and from your whole understanding and from your whole strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

Take

On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

And this [is] the covenant from me with them when I take away their sins."

And you know that that one was revealed in order that he might take away sins, and in him [there] is no sin.
