This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb_9:25. Οὐδέ ] nor yet, sc. εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν .
προσφέρειν ἑαυτόν ] denotes not the presentation of Himself with His blood before God in the heavenly Holy of Holies (Böhme, Bleek, Delitzsch, Alford, Kurtz, and others; comp. also Riehm, Lehrbegr. des Hebräerbr. p. 474), but the offering of Himself as a sacrifice upon earth. The sense is: Christ entered into the heavenly Holy of Holies, not that He might presently leave it again, in order afresh to offer Himself as a sacrifice upon earth.
ὁ ἀρχιερεύς ] the Levitical high priest.
τὰ ἅγια ] the earthly Holy of Holies.
ἐν αἵματι ἀλλοτρίῳ ] with blood not his own.
ἀλλοτρίῳ ] opposition to ἑαυτόν .
