Hebrews 10:12-18 NIV

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

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

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:18

Now where remission of these is ,.... That is, of these sins; and that there is remission of them, is evident from this promise of the covenant, just now produced; from God's gracious proclamation of it; from the shedding of Christ's blood for it; from his exaltation at the Father's right hand to give it; from the Gospel declaration of it; and from the several instances of persons favoured with it: there is no more offering for sin ; there may be other offerings, as of praise and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:13

Till his enemies be made his footstool - Till all that oppose his high priesthood and sacrificial offering shall be defeated, routed, and confounded; and acknowledge, in their punishment, the supremacy of his power as universal and eternal King, who refused to receive him as their atoning and sanctifying Priest. There is also an oblique reference here to the destruction of the Jews, which was then at hand; for Christ was about to take away the second with an overwhelming flood of... read more
