Acts 2
38Peter said to them, "(AY)Repent, and each of you be (AZ)baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 22
16'Now why do you delay? (AG)Get up and be baptized, and (AH)wash away your sins, (AI)calling on His name.'
Leviticus 22
24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
Leviticus 22
(22) Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these unto YHWH, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto YHWH.
Matthew 27 (as well as Mark 15:15, John 19:1)
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
The lamb, of course, was perfect UNTIL it was sacrificed. It obviously was "cut" when it was killed. Thus, also Yeshua was without blemish, UNTIL he was damaged in the process of being sacrificed.
The scourging came before the sacrificing. Not to mention
Leviticus 17
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
The Gospels indicate Jesus' blood was not shed to a degree that would make blood loss from the body the exclusive cause of death. Death solely by blood loss is the only biblical cause acceptable for an animal's sacrificial death.
