Perfect Lamb

Like a lamb that is led to slaughter.
Your lamb shall be an unblemished male,
And the blood shall be a sign for you,
And when I see the blood
I will pass over you.

He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering
And slay it for a sin offering
In the place where they slay the burnt offering.
The priest shall make atonement for him.

He shall bring his guilt offering to the LORD
For his sin which he has committed.
It is a guilt offering;
He was certainly guilty before the LORD.

Never, by the same sacrifices
Which they offer continually,
Can the Law make perfect those who draw near.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats
To take away sins.

Sacrifice and offering You have not desired,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
For the Law was given through Moses;
Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

If the distance is so great for you
That you are not able to bring the tithe,
Then you shall exchange it for money,
And go to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
You may spend the money
For whatever your heart desires;
For oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink,
And there you shall eat in the presence of the LORD.

Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot,
Went to the chief priests, and said,
“What are you willing to give me
To betray Him to you?”
And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver.

He looked at Jesus as He walked
And said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said,
“Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus.

Yet He did not open His mouth
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.

Then Pilate said to Him,
“Do You not hear how many things
They testify against You?”
And He did not answer him with regard
To even a single charge.

Pilate said to them,
“Then what shall I do with Jesus
Who is called Christ?”
They all said, “Crucify Him!”
And he said, “Why,
What evil has He done?”
But they kept shouting all the more,
Saying, “Crucify Him!”

And when they had crucified Him,
And when they had crucified Him,
They divided up His garments.
And sitting down, they began
To keep watch over Him there.

But the LORD was pleased to crush Him,
Putting Him to grief;
If He would render Himself
As a guilt offering,
He will see it and be satisfied,
As He will bear their iniquities.

And Jesus cried out again,
And yielded up His spirit.
And behold, the veil of the temple
Was torn in two,
From top to bottom.

But He, having offered one sacrifice
For sins for all time,
Sat down at the right hand of God.
For by one offering
He has perfected for all time
Those who are being sanctified.
