Hebrews 10:1-14

For the law having the shadow of good things to come, not the real image of the things, annually with the same sacrifices which they offer continually, is by no means able to make perfect those coming to it: since in that case would they not have ceased being offered, because the worshipers having once been purified would have had no more conscience of sins? But in the same sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins annually;read more.
for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Therefore, coming into the world, he says; Sacrifice an offering thou willest not, but thou hast perfected for me a body: whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins thou wast not pleased with: then I said, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book it has been written of me to do thy will, O God. Saying above, that Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou didst not will, neither wast well pleased with; whatsoever are offered according to law; then he has said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second; by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every high priest indeed stands daily ministering, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which are never able to take away sins: and he, having offered up one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God; finally waiting until his enemies may be made the foot-stool of his feet. For by one offering he has forever perfected the sanctified.

1 Corinthians 5:7

Cleanse away the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, as you are free from leaven; for Christ has truly become our Passover.

Hebrews 9:19-28

For every commandment having been spoken by Moses to all the people according to law, having taken the blood of bullocks and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God established unto you. And he likewise also sprinkled the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry, with blood.read more.
And according to the law, almost all things are purified by blood; and without the shedding of blood there is no remission. Therefore it is necessary that the pattern of the things in these heavens be purified; and the heavenly things themselves with greater sacrifices than these. For Christ did not come into the sanctuaries made with hands, the pattern of the true; but into heaven itself, now to be made manifest unto the face of God in our behalf: neither in order that he may frequently offer up himself, as the high priest goes into the holies once a year with the blood of another; since it behooved him frequently to suffer from the foundation of the world: but now in the end of the ages he has been made manifest unto the removal of sin through the sacrifice of himself. And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this is the judgment: so also Christ, having once been offered up to bear away the sins of many, will appear the second time apart from sin unto salvation to those expecting him.

Hebrews 10:1

For the law having the shadow of good things to come, not the real image of the things, annually with the same sacrifices which they offer continually, is by no means able to make perfect those coming to it:

Hebrews 13:11-13

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is shed by the high priest in the sanctuary for sin, are utterly burnt up outside of the camp. Therefore indeed Jesus, in order that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. Therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach;

Revelation 5:6

And I saw, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, the Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God having been sent into all the earth.
