Heb 9:25-26 | Barnes | STEP | Verse 25. Nor yet that he should offer himself often . The Jewish high priest entered the most holy place with blood once every year. In this respect the offering made by Christ, and the work which he performed, differed from that of the Jewish high priest. It was not needful that he should enter the holy place but once. Having entered there, he permanently remains there. With the blood of others . That is, with the blood of calves and goats. This is a second point in which the work of Christ differs from that of the Jewish high priest. Christ entered there with his own blood. .

Hebrews 9:25-26

Verse 25. Nor yet that he should offer himself often. The Jewish high priest entered the most holy place with blood once every year. In this respect the offering made by Christ, and the work which he performed, differed from that of the Jewish high priest. It was not needful that he should enter the holy place but once. Having entered there, he permanently remains there.

With the blood of others. That is, with the blood of calves and goats. This is a second point in which the work of Christ differs from that of the Jewish high priest. Christ entered there with his own blood. Heb 9:12. Verse 26. For then must he often have suffered. That is, if his blood had no more efficacy than that which the Jewish high priest offered, and which was so often repeated, it would have been necessary that Christ should have often died.

But now once. Once for all; once in the sense that it is not to be repeated again--απαξ.

In the end of the world. In the last dispensation or economy; that under which the affairs of the world will be wound up. See the phrase fully explained Heb 1:2; Acts 2:17; 1Cor 10:11, Isa 2:2.

Hath he appeared. He has been manifested in human form.

To put away sin.

(1.) To remove the punishment due to sin, or to provide a way of pardon; and

(2.) to remove the stain of sin from the soul. Heb 9:2.

By the sacrifice of himself. Heb 1:3; Heb 2:14; Heb 7:27.
