The Priests Offer Sacrifices Daily, But Jesus Offered One Sacrifice For All

¹¹ And every priest stands ministering daily and offering often the same sacrifices which are never able to take-away sins— ¹² but this One, having offered one sacrifice for sins^[a] for all time, sat-down at the right hand of God, ¹³ henceforth waiting until His enemies are put as a footstool of His feet.

For By One Offering Jesus Perfected Us For All Time

¹⁴ For by one offering He has perfected for all time the ones being made-holy.

The New Covenant Says That God Will Never Remember Our Sins Again

¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after the statement [in Jer 31:33] having said ¹⁶ “This is the covenant which I will covenant with them after those days, says the Lord: Giving My laws upon their hearts, I will also write them upon their mind”, ¹⁷ then He says “And I will never remember their sins and their lawless-deeds again”.

God’s Permanent Forgiveness Makes Further Offerings For Sin Unnecessary

¹⁸ Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer an offering for sin!

Therefore Let Us Approach God In Full Assurance of Faith And Hold On Without Wavering

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers, having confidence for the entering of the Holies by the blood of Jesus— ²⁰ which fresh^[b] and living way He inaugurated for us through^[c] the curtain, that is^[d], His flesh— ²¹ and having a great Priest over the house of God, ²² let us be approaching God with a true heart in full-assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled^[e] from an evil conscience, and having our body washed^[f] with clean water. ²³ Let us be holding-on-to the confession of our hope without-wavering, for the One having promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us be considering^[g] one another for the provoking^[h] of love and good works, ²⁵ not forsaking the gathering-together of ourselves as is a habit with some, but exhorting^[i] one another, and so-much more by-as-much-as you see the day drawing-near.

Jesus Returns To Galilee And Feeds The 5000

6 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee— of Tiberias^[a]. ² And a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the signs which He was doing on the ones being sick. ³ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and was sitting there with His disciples. ⁴ And the Passover, the Feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵ Then Jesus, having lifted-up His eyes and seen that a large crowd was coming to Him, says to Philip, “From where may we buy bread in order that these ones may eat?” ⁶ Now He was saying this testing him. For He Himself knew what He was going to do. ⁷ Philip answered Him, “Loaves worth two-hundred denarii^[b] are not enough for them, in order that each one may receive a little bit”. ⁸ One of His disciples— Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter— says to Him, ⁹ “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many?” ¹⁰ Jesus said, “Make the people fall-back [to eat]”. And there was much grass in the place. So the men— about five-thousand as to the number— fell back [to eat]. ¹¹ Then Jesus took the loaves. And having given-thanks, He distributed them to the ones reclining-back [to eat]— likewise also from the fish— as much as they were wanting. ¹² And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather the left-over fragments so that nothing may be lost”. ¹³ So they gathered, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves, which were left over by the ones having eaten. ¹⁴ Therefore the people, having seen the sign which He did, were saying that “This One is truly the Prophet^[c] coming into the world”. ¹⁵ Then Jesus, having known that they were about to come and take Him away-by-force in order that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain, Himself alone.
