Checking for Blemish
The Torah further instructs that the lamb must be checked for blemishes. Only a perfect, spotless and unblemished lamb would suffice for the Passover.
In the Gospels, Yeshua goes to the Temple to teach. While there, he is approached by the Pharisees, the Sadducees, Herodians and the Teachers of Torah. Each various group poses difficult questions, trying to trap him in his words. Essentially, they are looking for any blemish, theological, halachic, or otherwise, which might disqualify him as Messiah. Matthew 22 preserves the narrative of these tests. He meets each question soundly, and no one can find fault with him. He is without blemish.
