Heb 10:12. [61] ΟὝΤΟς) So ch. Heb 3:3. Others read ΑὐΤῸς by an easy alliteration.[62]-ΜΊΑΝ, one) The antithesis is, the same sacrifices often, Heb 10:11.-εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς, continually) The offering of Christ, once for all made, will continue the one and only oblation for ever: no other will supersede it.-ἐκάθισεν, sat down) The antithesis is ἕστηκε, is wont to stand or standeth, Heb 10:11. The sacrifice of the mass is inconsistent with sitting at the right hand of GOD: for the sacrifice of Christ is neither continued nor repeated in the mass. The apostle not only urges the identity, but also the word ἅπαξ, once, once for all, concerning the sacrifice of Christ, in antithesis to the Levitical sacrifices, often offered, although they were the same. A sacrifice which is often repeated, although it be the same, does not satisfy or make atonement to GOD. Not only is the body of Christ one, but also His offering is one, and that too inseparable from His passion: ch. Heb 9:26. Every later oblation shows that the former is of no value; every former one proves that the later one is superfluous: ch. Heb 10:2; Heb 10:18.
[61] Heb 10:11. πᾶς ἱερεὺς, every priest) especially every high priest.-V. g.
[62] The older Ed. had preferred αὐτὸς, but the margin of the 2d Ed. and the Germ. Vers. agree with the Gnomon.-E. B.
ACD(Δ) corrected f Vulg. read οὗτος: and so Lachm. Tisch., with no good authority, reads αὐτὸς, as Rec. Text.-ED.
