Previously, Jesus told the Pharisees to go and learn what this phrase means. Apparently, they did not... Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: Now, He uses it to refute their accusation against him.
Jesus reverses the commonly held notion that his sacrifice brings redemption. We are innocent because we are created by God as spirit, not because of any persecution. We know this by changing our minds, metanoia, forgiveness. The most important verse in the Bible and you missed its importance.
thank you
