John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:9

Then said he, lo , I come to do thy will, O God ,.... See Gill on Hebrews 10:7 . he taketh away the first, that he may establish the second ; the sense is, either that God has taken away, and abolished the law, that he might establish the Gospel; or he has caused the first covenant to vanish away, that place might be found for the second, or new covenant; or he has changed and abrogated the priesthood of Aaron, that he might confirm the unchangeable priesthood of Christ; or rather he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:10

By the which will we are sanctified ,.... That is, by the sacrifice of Christ, which was willingly offered up by himself, and was according to the will of God; it was his will of purpose that Christ should be crucified and slain; and it was his will of command, that he should lay down his life for his people; and it was grateful and well pleasing to him, that his soul should be made an offering for sin; and that for this reason, because hereby the people of God are sanctified, their sins are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:11

And every priest standeth daily ministering ,.... The Alexandrian copy, one of Stephens's, the Complutensian edition, the Syriac and Ethiopic versions, read, "every high priest"; who might minister daily, if he would; but since the daily sacrifice was generally offered by the common priests, these are rather designed. The apostle passes from the anniversary sacrifices offered by the high priest on the day of atonement, having shown the insufficiency and imperfection of them, to the lambs of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:12

But this man ,.... Jesus Christ, for he is a man, though not a mere man; or this great high priest, who came to do the will of God, and whose body was offered once for all: after he had offered one sacrifice for sins ; the sacrifice of himself, body and soul, and this but once: for ever sat down on the right hand of God ; as having done his work effectually, and that with acceptance; and therefore is placed as a token of honour at the right hand of God, where he sits enjoying rest,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:14

For by one offering ,.... The same as before; himself, body and soul; this is a reason why he is set down, and will continue so for ever, and why he expects his enemies to be made his footstool; because by one sacrifice for sin, which he has once offered, he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified ; that is, who are sanctified by God the Father, Judges 1:1 or, who are set apart by him in eternal election, from the rest of the world, for his own use, service, and glory, to a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:15

Wherefore the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us ,.... In Jeremiah 31:33 . This preface to the following citation shows that the books of the Old Testament are of divine original and authority; that the penmen of them were inspired by the Holy Ghost; that he existed in the times of the Old Testament; that he is truly and properly God, the Lord, or Jehovah, that speaks in the following verses; and that he is a distinct divine Person, and the author of the covenant of grace; and in what he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:17

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. See Gill on Hebrews 8:10 . The words are cited to a different purpose here than there; the principal thing for which they are cited here, is to observe God's promise of non-remembrance of sin; which is no other than remission of sin, and which is not consistent with legal sacrifices, in which there is a remembrance of sin every year, Hebrews 10:3 and consequently, since this new covenant has taken place, legal sacrifices must be... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:4

For it is not possible - Common sense must have taught them that shedding the blood of bulls and goats could never satisfy Divine justice, nor take away guilt from the conscience; and God intended that they should understand the matter so: and this the following quotation from the Psalmist sufficiently proves. read more
