Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

11 And every priest stands aministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.  
12 aBut this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down bat the right hand of God,  
13 from that time waiting atill His enemies are made His footstool.  
14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being1 sanctified.  
15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 a“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”

Hebrews 10:12

But this man - The Lord Jesus. The word "man" is not in the original here. The Greek is literally "but this;" to wit, this priest. The apostle does not state here whether he was a man, or a being of a higher order. He merely mentions him as a priest in contradistinction from the Jewish priests.

After he had offered one sacrifice for sins - By dying on the cross. This he did but once; this could not be repeated; and need not be repeated, for it was sufficient for the sins of the world.

For ever sat down - That is, he sat down then to return no more for the purpose of offering sacrifice for sin. He will no more submit himself to scenes of suffering and death to expiate human guilt.

On the right hand of God - see the notes on Mark 16:19; compare the notes on Ephesians 1:20-22.
