9:20. Saying: This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined
unto you.
9:21. The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like
manner, he sprinkled with blood.
9:22. And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with
blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
9:23. It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things
should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with
better sacrifices than these.
9:24. For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the
patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in
the presence of God for us.
9:25. Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
entereth into the Holies every year with the blood of others:
Offer himself often... Christ shall never more offer himself in
sacrifice, in that violent, painful, and bloody manner, nor can there be
any occasion for it: since by that one sacrifice upon the cross, he has
furnished the full ransom, redemption, and remedy for all the sins of
the world. But this hinders not that he may offer himself daily in the
sacred mysteries in an unbloody manner, for the daily application of
that one sacrifice of redemption to our souls.
9:26. For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the
world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the
destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself.
9:27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the
judgment:
9:28. So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The
second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto
salvation.
To exhaust... That is, to empty, or draw out to the very bottom, by a
plentiful and perfect redemption.
Hebrews Chapter 10
Because of the insufficiency of the sacrifices of the law, Christ our
high priest shed his own blood for us, offering up once for all the
sacrifice of our redemption. He exhorts them to perseverance.
10:1. For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the
very image of the things, by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer
continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect.
10:2. For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the
worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer.
They would have ceased... If they had been of themselves perfect to all
the intents of redemption and remission, as Christ's death is there
would have been no occasion of so often repeating them: as there is no
occasion for Christ's dying any more for our sins.
10:3. But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year:
10:4. For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin
should be taken away.
10:5. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world he saith: Sacrifice and
oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me.
10:6. Holocausts for sin did not please thee.
10:7. Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written
of me: that I should do thy will, O God.
10:8. In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for
sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are
offered according to the law.
10:9. Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away
the first, that he may establish that which followeth.
