Did Jesus actually say he died to "cleanse our sins"?

Question

I am embarrassed my my lack of biblical knowledge on this and figure the fastest way is to ask here.

Did he specifically say that he was a sacrifice for our sins? Or his blood or death would do something like this?
Not what others said, what JESUS himself said (according to the bible anyway)
(Please no atheist answers, I get it, there is no sin or god and all that )

Answer 1

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Answer 2

John 15:3:

3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Mark 2:5:

5When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

Matthew 26:28:

28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Answer 3

At the Lord's Supper, Jesus said: "for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" (Matthew 26:28).

Answer 4

I'm not sure if He said it in those specific words. But in John 3:16, Jesus says: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The only way we can NOT perish is to be in the presence of God after we die and the only way we can to that is if we are perfect. And the only way we can be seen perfect in God's eyes is to accept Jesus as the Lord of our life.

Answer 5

He died to save our sins. They are all saved and quarantined in Heaven.

By the way, what's wrong with atheist answers? I am embarrassed by your lack of interest in atheist answers.

As for Jesus' own words, read them for yourself in Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.

Mat 26:27-28 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said "Each of you drink from it, For this is my blood, which seals the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out to forgive the sins of many.

Answer 7

He said that he was going to die to save us from our sins. God also said it when he sent the Angel to explain to Merry and Joseph that Merry was going to have a son (Jesus).

Jesus said he would cleanse our sheets, but it got mixed up in translation.
