Hebrews 12:18-24

18For you have not come to something that can be touched, to a burning fire and darkness and gloom and a whirlwind

19and the blast of a trumpet and a voice uttering words such that those who heard begged to hear no more.

20For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”

21In fact, the scene was so terrifying that Moses said, “I shudder with fear.”

22But you have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the assembly

23and congregation of the firstborn, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous, who have been made perfect,

24and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks of something better than Abel’s does.
