Hebrews 12:18-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

You Have Come to Mount Zion

¹⁸ You have not come to a mountain that can be touched^[a] and to burning fire, to darkness, to gloom, to a raging storm, ¹⁹ to the sound of a trumpet, and to a voice that spoke. Those who heard the voice asked that not one more word be added, ²⁰ because they could not endure what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”^{[b] 21} The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”^[c]

²² Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God; to the heavenly Jerusalem; to tens of thousands of angels in joyful assembly; ²³ to the church of the firstborn whose names are written in heaven; to God, who is the judge of all; to the spirits of righteous people who have been made perfect; ²⁴ to Jesus, the mediator of a new testament;^[d] and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than the blood of Abel.
