Hebrews 10:10-14

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 10:1-10

10:1-10 Because the law is only a pale shadow of the blessings which are to come and not a real image of these things, it can never really fit for the fellowship of God those who seek to draw near to his presence with the sacrifices which have to be brought year by year and which go on for ever. For if these sacrifices could achieve that, would they not have stopped being brought because the worshipper had been once and for all brought into a state of purity and no longer had any... 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 10:10

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

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

By the which will we are sanctified - Closing in with this so solemnly declared Will of God, that there is no name given under heaven among men, by which we can be saved, but Jesus the Christ, we believe in him, find redemption in his blood, and are sanctified unto God through the sacrificial offering of his body. Hence we see that the sovereign Will of God is, that Jesus should be incarnated; that he should suffer and die, or, in the apostle's words, taste death for every man; that all... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:11

Every priest standeth - The office of the Jewish priest is here compared with the office of our High Priest. The Jewish priest stands daily at the altar, like a servant ministering, repeating the same sacrifices; our High Priest offered himself once for all, and sat down at the right hand of God, as the only-begotten Son and Heir of all things, Hebrews 10:12 . This continual offering argued the imperfection of the sacrifices. Our Lord's once offering, proves his was complete. read more
