Hebrews 13:12

Hebrews 13:12

10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.

12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might¹ sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing ^aHis reproach.

14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.

15 ^aTherefore by Him let us continually offer ^bthe sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^cthe fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

16 ^aBut do not forget to do good and to share, for ^bwith such sacrifices God is well pleased.

17 ^aObey those who¹ rule over you, and be submissive, for ^bthey watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Prayer Requested

18 ^aPray for us; for we are confident that we have ^ba good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hebrews 13:11

Hebrews 13:13 >>

Wherefore Jesus also - Exactly answering those typical sin - offerings. Suffered without the gate - Of Jerusalem, which answered to the old camp of Israel. That he might sanctify - Reconcile and consecrate to God. The people - Who believe in him. By his own blood - Not those shadowy sacrifices, which are now of no farther use.
