This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Wherefore Jesus also (dio kai Iēsous). The parallel is drawn between the O.T. ritual and the better sacrifice of Jesus already discussed (9:13-10:18). The purpose of Jesus is shown (hina hagiasēi, hina and the first aorist active subjunctive of hagiazō, to sanctify), the means employed (dia tou idiou haimatos, by his own blood), the place of his suffering (epathen, as in Heb 5:8) is also given (exō tēs pulēs, outside the gate, implied in Joh 19:17) which phrase corresponds to “outside the camp” of Heb 13:11.
