But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
-- Matthew 9:13
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
-- Matthew 12:7
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
-- Hosea 6:6
