Isaiah 50:5-6
5 aThe Lord God has opened my ear,band I was not rebellious;
I turned not backward.
6 cI gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
from disgrace and spitting.

5Consequently, pwhen Christ ▼▼Greek he
came into the world, he said, r“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in ssacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9then he added, t“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
