Hebrews 8:5-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 They offer worship in a sanctuary that is[a] a sketch and shadow of the heavenly one, just as Moses was warned when he was about to erect the tent.[b] For, God[c] said, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”(A) 6 But Jesus[d] has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on the basis of better promises.(B) 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.(C)
8 God[e] finds fault with them when he says:
“The days are surely coming, says the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,(D)
9 not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
for they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I had no concern for them, says the Lord.
10 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.(E)
11 And they shall not teach one another
or say to each other,[f] ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.(F)
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins[g] no more.”(G)
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.(H)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you[a] will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(A) 22 You[b] worship what you[c] do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.(B) 23 But the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.(C)
