CHAPTER 9 1. The first tabernacle and its worship (Hebrews 9:1-10 ) 2. The blood and the perfect work accomplished (Hebrews 9:11-23 ) 3. The Priest in heaven (Hebrews 9:24-28 ) Hebrews 9:1-10 The Spirit of God now brings forth the greatest and most blessed facts concerning Christ, the offering He brought, and what has been accomplished by that offering.

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 9:12

9:12 {8} Neither by the blood of {i} goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].(8) Another comparison of the blood of the sacrifices with Christ, the Levitical high priests entering by their holy places into the sanctuary, offered corruptible blood for one year only: but Christ entering into that holy body of his, entered by it into heaven itself, offering his own most pure blood for an everlasting redemption: for... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 9:13

9:13 {9} For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the {k} purifying of the flesh:(9) If the outward sprinkling of blood and ashes of beasts was a true and effectual sign of purifying and cleansing, how much more shall the thing itself and the truth being present which in times past was shadowed by those external sacraments do it? That is to say, his blood, which is man’s blood and also the blood of the Son of God, and therefore... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 9:14

9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from {l} dead works to serve the living God?(l) From sins which proceed from death, and bring forth nothing but death. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:1-28

Chapters 9 and 10 form a wonderful climax in the orderly presentation of the truth in this epistle: If according to the new covenant, a man must be morally fitted for the presence of God by means of the new birth, as we have seen, yet the way into Gods presence, the holiest of all, must also be clearly made manifest. These chapters admirably and fully deal with this grand subject. And first, from verse 1 to 10, the service of the tabernacle is summarized for us, for its typical significance... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:1-28

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

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 9:11-14

(11) But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; (12) Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (13) For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: (14) How much more shall the blood of... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:12

By the blood of goats, &c. This is another difference and pre-eminence of Christ above the priests of the law of Moses, that they could only offer the blood of beasts; but Christ entered into heaven by the effusion of his own precious blood in his sufferings, and on the cross, by this having found an eternal redemption for mankind, having satisfied for the sins of all men in the sight of God, which the former priests, with all their sacrifices, could not do. (Witham) --- Eternal... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:13-14

For if the blood of goats, &c. Another main difference betwixt the sacrifices in the old, and that of Christ in the new law. Those imperfect carnal sacrifices could only make the priests and the people reputed clean, so that they were no longer to be treated as transgressors, and liable to punishments, prescribed and inflicted by the law: but the sacrifice of Christ has made our consciences interiorly clean, and sanctified them even in the sight of God. Having offered himself unspotted to... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:11-14

11-14 All good things past, present, and to come, were and are founded upon the priestly office of Christ, and come to us from thence. Our High Priest entered into heaven once for all, and has obtained eternal redemption. The Holy Ghost further signified and showed that the Old Testament sacrifices only freed the outward man from ceremonial uncleanness, and fitted him for some outward privileges. What gave such power to the blood of Christ? It was Christ's offering himself without any sinful... read more
