11 Christ’s Service in the Heavenly Sanctuary But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,
12 and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled consecrated them and provided ritual purity,
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.
15 And so he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance he has promised, since he died to set them free from the violations committed under the first covenant.
25 And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,
26 for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice.
22 Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 So it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required better sacrifices than these.
5 And above the ark were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.
6 So with these things prepared like this, the priests enter continually into the outer tent as they perform their duties.
7 But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.
8 The Holy Spirit is making clear that the way into the holy place had not yet appeared as long as the old tabernacle was standing.
9 This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.
19 Drawing Near to God in Enduring Faith Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
1 The High Priest of a Better Covenant Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have such a high priest, one who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2 a minister in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.
4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
5 The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says,“See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain.”
6 But now Jesus has obtained a superior ministry, since the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted on better promises.
20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
1 The Arrangement and Ritual of the Earthly Sanctuary Now the first covenant, in fact, had regulations for worship and its earthly sanctuary.
2 For a tent was prepared, the outer one, which contained the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this is called the holy place.
3 And after the second curtain there was a tent called the holy of holies.
25 So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27 He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all.
14 Jesus Our Compassionate High Priest Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.
16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.
1 Concluding Exposition: Old and New Sacrifices Contrasted For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.
2 For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so have no further consciousness of sin?
28 so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation.
11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood the high priest brings into the sanctuary as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp.
12 Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp.
10 By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
17 these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!
19 but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
19 for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
1 Jesus and Moses Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
3 The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
18 So even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.
14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
40 For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us.
12 But when this priest had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God,
14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
