Hebrews 10:12

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 10:12

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

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 10:11-13

And every priest indeed standeth daffy ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but he, having offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet. Thus with the one perfectly accomplished and for ever availing sacrifice is brought into connection, as its result, the fulfillment in Christ for man of the ideal of Psalms 8:6 (which was set forth... read more

The sacrifice and sovereignty of Christ. "But this Man, after he had offered one sacrifice," etc. I. THE SACRIFICE OFFERED BY CHRIST . 1. Self-sacrifice. The Jewish priests offered goats, lambs, etc. But Jesus Christ "gave himself." The whole of his life upon earth was a sacrifice. The sufferings of the closing scenes were sacrificial. His death was sacrificial. In all he acted with entire spontaneity ( John 10:17 , John 10:18 ). All was the outcome of the infinite... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:12

But this man - The Lord Jesus. The word “man” is not in the original here. The Greek is literally “but this;” to wit, this priest. The apostle does not state here whether he was a man, or a being of a higher order. He merely mentions him as a priest in contradistinction from the Jewish priests.After he had offered one sacrifice for sins - By dying on the cross. This he did but once; this could not be repeated; and need not be repeated, for it was sufficient for the sins of the world.For ever... read more

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
