"But ifyou had knownwhatthis means,I DESIRECOMPASSION,AND NOT A SACRIFICE,'you would not have condemnedthe innocent.
and saidto Him, "Do You hearwhatthese[children] are saying?"And Jesussaidto them, "Yes;have you neverread,OUT OF THE MOUTHOF INFANTSAND NURSING BABIESYOU HAVE PREPAREDPRAISEFOR YOURSELF'?"
Jesussaidto them, "Did you neverreadin the Scriptures,THE STONEWHICHTHE BUILDERSREJECTED,THISBECAMETHE CHIEFCORNER[stone]; THISCAMEABOUT FROM THE LORD,AND IT IS MARVELOUSIN OUR EYES'?

I AMTHE GODOF ABRAHAM,AND THE GODOF ISAAC,AND THE GODOF JACOB?He is not the Godof the deadbut of the living."
"But goand learnwhatthis means:I DESIRECOMPASSION,AND NOT SACRIFICE,'for I did not cometo callthe righteous,but sinners."
