This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 13:12. Ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ) that He might sanctify, might cleanse from sins, might lead (bring) from the world to GOD. This corresponds to ἅγια, Heb 13:11.-ἰδίον, His own) An antithesis to, of animals.-αἵματος, blood) The mention of the body is implied in the verb, He suffered; and accordingly the 11th verse, respecting the blood of animals and their bodies, has its Apodosis here, in the 12th verse.-τὸν λαὸν, the people) ch. Heb 2:17.-ἔξω τῆς πύλης, without the gate) as if He had been deemed unworthy of the companionship of men; Mat 27:32. Comp. Lev 24:13. He suffered without the gate of the city (although the apostle purposely (skilfully) abstains from the use of the word, city), which city itself was like the camp in the wilderness, and had the temple, as the camp had the tabernacle.-ἔπαθε, He suffered) The type of the passion was the burning of the victims. The passion, properly, is that on the cross, without the gate.
