“And having an high priest over the house of God;”
King James Version (KJV)
10:19 Having finished the doctrinal part of his epistle, the apostle now proceeds to exhortation deduced from what has been treated of #Heb 5:4|, which he begins by a brief recapitulation. Having therefore liberty to enter, -
10:20 By a living way - The way of faith, whereby we live indeed. Which he hath consecrated - Prepared, dedicated, and established for us. Through the veil, that is, his flesh - As by rending the veil in the temple, the holy of holies became visible and accessible; so by wounding the body of Christ, the God of heaven was manifested, and the way to heaven opened.
10:22 Let us draw near - To God. With a true heart - In godly sincerity. Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience - So as to condemn us no longer And our bodies washed with pure water - All our conversation spotless and holy, which is far more acceptable to God than all the legal sprinklings and washings.
10:23 The profession of our hope - The hope which we professed at our baptism.
Heb 10:21 And [having] an high priest. Our high priest hath opened the way by rending the veil. He is priest over the House of God, the church on earth, and our high priest in the Holiest of all above.
