L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

The attentive reader cannot but notice the thoroughness with which this subject is treated in these chapters. It is a matter of profound importance, basic as regards any true knowledge of God, and as to approaching the presence of God. Law could not give any such revelation. "For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-18

PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST AND AARON CHRIST IS A PRIEST OF A BETTER COVENANT THAN AARON (Hebrews 8:0 ) Better not morally, but efficaciously, i.e., established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6 ), in the sense that they are written on the heart rather than tablets of stone (Hebrews 8:10 ); that they are universal in their application and not limited to a single people (Hebrews 8:11 ); and that they bring with them eternal forgiveness. CHRIST IS A PRIEST OF A BETTER TABERNACLE (Hebrews 9:1-14 )... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 10:5-14

(5) Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: (6) In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. (7) Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. (8) Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; (9) Then said he, Lo, I... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:11-18

11-18 Under the new covenant, or gospel dispensation, full and final pardon is to be had. This makes a vast difference between the new covenant and the old one. Under the old, sacrifices must be often repeated, and after all, only pardon as to this world was to be obtained by them. Under the new, one Sacrifice is enough to procure for all nations and ages, spiritual pardon, or being freed from punishment in the world to come. Well might this be called a new covenant. Let none suppose that human... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-99

Hebrews 10 IN THE PASSAGE now before us both these contrasts reappear, but coupled with them is a third the supreme glory of Him who became the sacrifice, as contrasted with both priests and offerings of old. We see Him stepping out of eternity that He might accomplish the will of God in the work that He did. The passage starts with the reminder that the law with its shadow sacrifices could NEVER make the worshippers perfect. It ends with the glorious statement that the offering of Christ ... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 10:11-18

v. 11. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; v. 12. but this Man, after he had offered one sacrifice for Sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, v. 13. from henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool. v. 14. For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. v. 15. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us; for after that He had said before, v. 16. ... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hebrews 10:12

Hebrews THE ENTHRONED CHRIST Heb_10:12 To that tremendous assertion the whole New Testament is committed. Peter, Paul, John, the writer of this book - all teach that the Jesus who died on Calvary now sits at the right hand of God. This is no case of distance casting a halo round the person of a simple teacher, for six weeks after Calvary, on the Day of Pentecost, Peter declared that Jesus, ‘exalted at the right hand of God,’ had ‘shed forth this,’ the gift of that Divine Spirit. This is no... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 10:11-25

The New and Living Way Open to Us Hebrews 10:11-25 Note the contrast between the standing of the priests and the sitting of the Priest . The one indicated incompleteness, the other a finished work. All that needed to be done for our final and entire deliverance from sin was accomplished when Jesus returned to the Father. It is for us to pass in large demands and claims. The bank is full, but we must draw on it. It is a great help, in the study of the Old Testament, to notice how... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

The writer now deals with the subject of the better worship. In this connection he again quotes from the prophecy of Jeremiah in order to emphasize the prediction of the new covenant concerning the forgiveness of sins. Through this offering and sacrifice of Christ, the worshipers are brought into a relationship with God in which there is no more consciousness of sin, but, instead, a delight to do God's will, and so is fulfilled the second part of Jeremiah's prediction., The provision made in... read more
