Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:7-18

Here the apostle raises up and exalts the Lord Jesus Christ, as high as he had laid the Levitical priesthood low. He recommends Christ to them as the true high priest, the true atoning sacrifice, the antitype of all the rest: and this he illustrates, I. From the purpose and promise of God concerning Christ, which are frequently recorded in the volume of the book of God, Heb. 10:7. God had not only decreed, but declared by Moses and the prophets, that Christ should come and be the great high... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 10:11-18

10:11-18 Again, every priest stands every day engaged upon his service; he stands offering the same sacrifices over and over again, and they are sacrifices of such a kind that they can never take away sins. But he offered one single sacrifice for sin and then took his seat for ever at the right hand of God, and for the future he waits until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. For by one offering and for all time he perfectly gave us that cleansing we need to enter into the... 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

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:14

For by one offering - His death upon the cross. He hath perfected for ever - He has procured remission of sins and holiness; fur it is well observed here, and in several parts of this epistle, that τελειοω , to make perfect, is the same as αφεσιν ἁμαρτιων ποιεω , to procure remission of sins. Them that are sanctified - Τους ἁγιαζομενους· Them that have received the sprinkling of the blood of this offering. These, therefore, receiving redemption through that blood, have no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-18

Close of the argument. This concluding passage presents little more than a re-statement of some points which have been already marked in the discussion which occupies the three preceding chapters. The kernel-thought of the paragraph is expressed in Hebrews 10:9 : "He taketh away the first" (the Jewish sacrifices), "that he may establish the second" (redemption by the sacrifice of himself). I. THE INHERENT WORTHLESSNESS OF THE LEVITICAL SACRIFICES , ( Hebrews 10:1-4 )... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:14

For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. The tense of the participle ἁγιαζομένους , instead of as verse ἡγιασμένους , in 10, does not involve a different sense of the verb, viz. the ordinary one associated with the word "sanctify." When it was necessary to express by the word itself the accomplishment of sanctification in the sense intended, the perfect participle was used; here the subjects of the same sanctification are denoted, the accomplishment... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:14

For by one offering - By offering himself once on the cross. The Jewish priest offered his sacrifices often, and still they did not avail to put away sin; the Saviour made one sacrifice, and it was sufficient for the sins of the world.He hath perfected forever - He hath laid the foundation of the eternal perfection. The offering is of such a character that it secures their final freedom from sin, and will make them forever holy. It cannot mean that those for whom he died are made at once... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:11-18

Hebrews 10:11-18. And every priest standeth, &c. In token of humble service and subjection; daily Morning and evening; ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which shows that these sacrifices can never take away sins Can never fully expiate them, so as to make it consistent with the justice of God to forgive them to the penitent and believing. But this man Αυτος δε , but He, the virtue of whose one sacrifice remains for ever, so that it need not be any more... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-18

Sacrifice under the new covenant (9:23-10:18)Levitical sacrifices were part of a material order and brought symbolic cleansing. Christ’s death is concerned with the spiritual order and brings actual cleansing (23). The Levitical high priest entered the symbolic presence of God with the blood of a sacrificial animal, a ceremony that had to be repeated yearly. Christ entered God’s real presence on account of his own blood, and he did so only once. His death is sufficient to remove completely the... read more
