| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 12 It's the same with Jesus. He was crucified outside the city gates - that is where he poured out the sacrificial blood that was brought to God's altar to cleanse his people. | 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. |
