Context of Hebrews 9:11

9It is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly, gifts and sacrifices are being offered that cannot make the worshiper perfect with respect to conscience. 10These relate only to food and drink and various washings—regulations for the body imposed until a time of setting things straight. But when Messiah appeared as Kohen Gadol of the good things that have now come, passing through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands (that is to say not of this creation), 12He entered into the Holies once for all—not by the blood of goats and calves but by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

Commentaries on Hebrews 9:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11But Christ being come a high priest of good things - I think this and the succeeding verses not happily translated: indeed, the division of them has led to a wrong translation; therefore they must be taken together, thus: But the Christ, the high priest of those good things (or services) which were to come, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of the same workmanship, entered once for all into the sanctuary…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11But Christ being come - Now that the Messiah has come, a more perfect system is introduced by which the conscience may be made free from guilt. An high priest of good things to come - see Hebrews 10:1. The apostle having described the tabernacle, and shown wherein it was defective in regard to the real wants of sinners, proceeds now to describe the Christian system, and to show how that met the real condition of man, and especially how it was adapted to…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-14Verses 11-14 All good things past, present, and to come, were and are founded upon the priestly office of Christ, and come to us from thence. Our High Priest entered into heaven once for all, and has obtained eternal redemption. The Holy Ghost further signified and showed that the Old Testament sacrifices only freed the outward man from ceremonial uncleanness, and fitted him for some outward privileges. What gave such power to the blood of Christ? It was…Read the comment

Christ’s sacrifice is better because it was made in the greater, perfect tabernacle in heaven, not the earthly one (see 8:5 and…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. But--in contrast to "could not make ... perfect" (He 9:9). Christ--The Messiah, of whom all the prophets foretold; not "Jesus" here. From whom the "reformation" (He 9:10), or rectification, emanates, which frees from the yoke of carnal ordinances, and which is being realized gradually now, and shall be perfectly in the consummation of "the age (world) to come." "Christ ... High Priest," exactly answers to Le 4:5, "the priest that is anointed." being…Read the comment
