And broke their chains in pieces.
15 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

And cut the bars of iron in two.

The Heavenly Sanctuary

11 But Christ came as High Priest of (D)the good things [b]to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not (E)with the blood of goats and calves, but (F)with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place (G)once for all, (H)having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if (I)the blood of bulls and goats and (J)the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [c]sanctifies for the [d]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [e]spot to God, (K)cleanse your conscience from (L)dead works (M)to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason (N)He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that (O)those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

The Mediator’s Death Necessary

16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For (P)a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 (Q)Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [f]precept to all the people according to the law, (R)he took the blood of calves and goats, (S)with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (T)“This is the (U)blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise (V)he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are [g]purified with blood, and (W)without shedding of blood there is no [h]remission.

Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that (X)the copies of the things in the heavens should be [i]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For (Y)Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are [j]copies of (Z)the true, but into heaven itself, now (AA)to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as (AB)the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
