WHILE arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me;...

After all, they were the victims in this event of slavery and oppression. Why did the High Priest need to immediately exit G-d's presence once he sprinkled the blood in the Holy of Holies? Didn't the blood atone for his sins on Yom Kippur? et.al.
