Hebrews 9:22-23
According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.

Isaiah 53:1-12
Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?He grew up before him like a young plant and like a root out of dry ground. He didn’t have an impressive form or majesty that we should look at him, no appearance that we should desire him.He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering who knew what sickness was. He was like someone people turned away from; he was despised, and we didn’t value him.Yet he himself bore our sicknesses, and he carried our pains; but we in turn regarded him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds.We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the LORD has punished him for the iniquity of us all.He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth. Like a lamb led to the slaughter and like a sheep silent before her shearers, he did not open his mouth.He was taken away because of oppression and judgment, and who considered his fate? For he was cut off from the land of the living; he was struck because of my people’s rebellion.He was assigned a grave with the wicked, but he was with a rich man at his death, because he had done no violence and had not spoken deceitfully.Yet the LORD was pleased to crush him severely. When you make him a guilt offering, he will see his seed, he will prolong his days, and by his hand, the LORD’s pleasure will be accomplished.After his anguish, he will see light and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will carry their iniquities.Therefore I will give him the many as a portion, and he will receive the mighty as spoil, because he willingly submitted to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet he bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.

Hebrews 2:8-10
and subjected everything under his feet. For in subjecting everything to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see everything subjected to him.But we do see Jesus— made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace he might taste death for everyone— crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death.For in bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God— for whom and through whom all things exist— should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Psalms 69:1-36
Save me, God, for the water has risen to my neck.I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing; I have come into deep water, and a flood sweeps over me.I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head; my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me, are powerful. Though I did not steal, I must repay.God, you know my foolishness, and my guilty acts are not hidden from you.Do not let those who put their hope in you be disgraced because of me, Lord GOD of Armies; do not let those who seek you be humiliated because of me, God of Israel.For I have endured insults because of you, and shame has covered my face.I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sonsbecause zeal for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.I mourned and fasted, but it brought me insults.I wore sackcloth as my clothing, and I was a joke to them.Those who sit at the city gate talk about me, and drunkards make up songs about me.But as for me, LORD, my prayer to you is for a time of favor. In your abundant, faithful love, God, answer me with your sure salvation.Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink. Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep water.Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over me or the deep swallow me up; don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.Answer me, LORD, for your faithful love is good. In keeping with your abundant compassion, turn to me.Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!Come near to me and redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies.You know the insults I endure— my shame and disgrace. You are aware of all my adversaries.Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I waited for sympathy, but there was none; for comforters, but found no one.Instead, they gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.Let their table set before them be a snare, and let it be a trap for their allies.Let their eyes grow too dim to see, and let their hips continually quake.Pour out your rage on them, and let your burning anger overtake them.Make their fortification desolate; may no one live in their tents.For they persecute the one you struck and talk about the pain of those you wounded.Charge them with crime on top of crime; do not let them share in your righteousness.Let them be erased from the book of life and not be recorded with the righteous.But as for me— poor and in pain— let your salvation protect me, God.I will praise God’s name with song and exalt him with thanksgiving.That will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.The humble will see it and rejoice. You who seek God, take heart!For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise his own who are prisoners.Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them,for God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah. They will live there and possess it.The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will live in it.

Psalms 22:1-31
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from my deliverance and from my words of groaning?My God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, by night, yet I have no rest.But you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.Our ancestors trusted in you; they trusted, and you rescued them.They cried to you and were set free; they trusted in you and were not disgraced.But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people.Everyone who sees me mocks me; they sneer and shake their heads:“ He relies on the LORD; let him save him; let the LORD rescue him, since he takes pleasure in him.”It was you who brought me out of the womb, making me secure at my mother’s breast.I was given over to you at birth; you have been my God from my mother’s womb.Don’t be far from me, because distress is near and there’s no one to help.Many bulls surround me; strong ones of Bashan encircle me.They open their mouths against me— lions, mauling and roaring.I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax, melting within me.My strength is dried up like baked clay; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You put me into the dust of death.For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has closed in on me; they pierced my hands and my feet.I can count all my bones; people look and stare at me.They divided my garments among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing.But you, LORD, don’t be far away. My strength, come quickly to help me.Rescue my life from the sword, my only life from the power of these dogs.Save me from the lion’s mouth, from the horns of wild oxen. You answered me!I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters; I will praise you in the assembly.You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! All you descendants of Israel, revere him!For he has not despised or abhorred the torment of the oppressed. He did not hide his face from him but listened when he cried to him for help.I will give praise in the great assembly because of you; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear you.The humble will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him. May your hearts live forever!All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before you,for kingship belongs to the LORD; he rules the nations.All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down; all those who go down to the dust will kneel before him— even the one who cannot preserve his life.Their descendants will serve him; the next generation will be told about the Lord.They will come and declare his righteousness; to a people yet to be born they will declare what he has done.
