“ I have sinned,” he declared,“ for I have betrayed an innocent man.”“ What do we care?” they retorted.“ That’s your problem.”

“ The elders of the town must wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken.Then they must say,‘ Our hands did not shed this person’s blood, nor did we see it happen.O Lord, forgive your people Israel whom you have redeemed. Do not charge your people with the guilt of murdering an innocent person.’ Then they will be absolved of the guilt of this person’s blood.

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
