If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.

Zechariah 9:11
As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.

Hebrews 9:14
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

1 Peter 2:19
For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
