Hebrews 13:13 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Hebrews 13:13

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.

<< Hebrews 13:12

Hebrews 13:14 >>

Hebrews 13:13

therefore—This "therefore" breathes the deliberate fortitude of believers [BENGEL].

without the camp—"outside the legal polity" [THEODORET] of Judaism (compare Hebrews 13:11) "Faith considers Jerusalem itself as a camp, not a city" [BENGEL]. He contrasts with the Jews, who serve an earthly sanctuary, the Christians to whom the altar in heaven stands open, while it is closed against the Jews. As Jesus suffered without the gate, so spiritually must those who desire to belong to Him, withdraw from the earthly Jerusalem and its sanctuary, as from this world in general. There is a reference to Exodus 33:7, when the tabernacle was moved without the camp, which had become polluted by the people's idolatry of the golden calves; so that "every one who sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation (as Moses called the tabernacle outside the camp), which was without the camp"; a lively type of what the Hebrews should do, namely, come out of the carnal worship of the earthly Jerusalem to worship God in Christ in spirit, and of what we all ought to do, namely, come out from all carnalism, worldly formalism, and mere sensuous worship, and know Jesus in His spiritual power apart from worldliness, seeing that "we have no continuing city" (Hebrews 13:14).

bearing—as Simon of Cyrene did.

his reproach—the reproach which He bare, and which all His people bear with Him.
