Hebrews 9:11-14, Hebrews 9:8 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 9:8-14

In these verses the apostle undertakes to deliver to us the mind and meaning of the Holy Ghost in all the ordinances of the tabernacle and legal economy, comprehending both place and worship. The scriptures of the Old Testament were given by inspiration of God; holy men of old spoke and wrote as the Holy Ghost directed them. And these Old-Testament records are of great use and significancy, not only to those who first received them, but even to Christians, who ought not to satisfy themselves... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 9:11-14

9:11-14 But when Christ arrived upon the scene, a high priest of the good things which are to come, by means of a tabernacle which was greater and better able to produce the results for which it was meant, a tabernacle not made by the hands of men--that is, a tabernacle which did not belong to this world order--and not by the blood of goats and bullocks but by his own blood, he entered once and for all into the Holy Place because he had secured for us an eternal redemption. For if the blood... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:11

But Christ being come an high priest ,.... Christ is come, as appears from the cessation of civil government among the Jews, which was not to be till Shiloh came; from the destruction of the second temple, into which the Messiah was to come, and did; from the expiration of Daniel's weeks, at which he was to appear, and be cut off; from the coming of John the Baptist, his forerunner, and from the preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles, and the calling and conversion of them, and the effusion... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:12

Neither by the blood of goats and calves ,.... With which the high priest entered into the holy place, within the vail, on the day of atonement, Leviticus 16:14 for Christ was not an high priest of the order of Aaron, nor could the blood of these creatures take away sin, nor would God accept of such sacrifices any longer: but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place ; which shows the truth of his human nature, and the virtue of its blood, as in union with his divine... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:13

For if the blood of bulls and of goats ,.... Shed either on the day of atonement, or at any other time: the former of thee, Pausanias F25 Achaica, sive l. 7. p. 450. relates, was drank by certain priestesses among the Grecians, whereby they were tried, whether they spoke truth or no if not, they were immediately punished; and the latter, he says F26 Arcadica, sive l. 8. p. 485. , will dissolve an adamant stone; but neither of them can purge from sin: and the ashes of an heifer... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:14

How much more shall the blood of Christ ,.... Which is not the blood of a mere man, but the blood of the Son of God; and the argument is from the lesser to the greater; that if the ashes of the burnt heifer, which was a type of Christ in his sufferings, mixed with water, typically sanctified to the purifying of men externally, in a ceremonial way, then much more virtue must there be in the blood of Christ, to cleanse the soul inwardly: who through the eternal Spirit offered himself... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:11

But Christ being come a high priest of good things - I think this and the succeeding verses not happily translated: indeed, the division of them has led to a wrong translation; therefore they must be taken together, thus: But the Christ, the high priest of those good things (or services) which were to come, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of the same workmanship, entered once for all into the sanctuary; having obtained eternal redemption for... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:12

But by his own blood - Here the redemption of man is attributed to the blood of Christ; and this blood is stated to be shed in a sacrificial way, precisely as the blood of bulls, goats and calves was shed under the law. Once - Once for all, εφαπαξ , in opposition to the annual entering of the high priest into the holiest, with the blood of the annual victim. The holy place - Or sanctuary, τα ἁγιᾳ , signifies heaven, into which Jesus entered with his own blood, as the high... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:13

Sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh - Answers the end proposed by the law; namely, to remove legal disabilities and punishments, having the body and its interests particularly in view, though adumbrating or typifying the soul and its concerns. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:14

Who through the eternal Spirit - This expression is understood two ways: Of the Holy Ghost himself. As Christ's miraculous conception was by the Holy Spirit, and he wrought all his miracles by the Spirit of God, so his death or final offering was made through or by the eternal Spirit; and by that Spirit he was raised from the dead, 1 Peter 3:18 . Indeed, through the whole of his life be was justified by the Spirit; and we find that in this great work of human redemption, the Father, the... read more
