The Messiah Offered One Sacrifice

“You did not want sacrifices and offerings,
    but you prepared a body for me.

    you never took delight.
Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, O God’
    In the volume of the scroll this is written about me.”[c]

Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(C)
    I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](D)
