MERCY Matthew 9:12-13

On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice' 
Hosea 6:6  "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings."
Micah 6:6-8  With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Matthew 12:7  "If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent."

For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners 
Luke 19:10  "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
1 Timothy 1:15  Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst.
