Hebrews 10:12

12 hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam in sempiternum sedit in dextera Dei

Hebrews 10:12 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 10:12

But this man
Jesus Christ, for he is a man, though not a mere man; or this great high priest, who came to do the will of God, and whose body was offered once for all:

after he had offered one sacrifice for sins;
the sacrifice of himself, body and soul, and this but once:

for ever sat down on the right hand of God;
as having done his work effectually, and that with acceptance; and therefore is placed as a token of honour at the right hand of God, where he sits enjoying rest, ease, and pleasure, and that for ever; all which is opposed to the priests under the law; they were many, he but one; they offered many sacrifices, he but one; they offered theirs often, every day, he but once; they stood ministering, he sat down; his sacrifice being effectual to take away sin, when theirs was not.

Hebrews 10:12 In-Context

10 in qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Christi Iesu in semel

11 et omnis quidem sacerdos praesto est cotidie ministrans et easdem saepe offerens hostias quae numquam possunt auferre peccata

12 hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam in sempiternum sedit in dextera Dei

13 de cetero expectans donec ponantur inimici eius scabillum pedum eius

14 una enim oblatione consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos
