But Christ Entered The True Holy of Holies Once For All And Obtained Redemption

¹¹ But Christ, having arrived^[a] as High Priest of the good things having come, entered^[b] once-for-all into the Holies through^[c] the greater and more-perfect tabernacle not made-by-human-hands— that is, not of this creation; ¹² and not through^[d] the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, having obtained^[e] eternal redemption.

For Through The Spirit He Offered Himself Without Blemish To God

¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the ones having been defiled sanctifies for the cleansing of the flesh, ¹⁴ by how much more will the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit^[f] offered Himself without-blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works so that we may worship^[g] the living God!

Thus Christ Mediates a New Covenant Inaugurated By His Own Blood

¹⁵ And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that the ones having been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance— a death having taken-place for the redemption from the transgressions committed under^[h] the first covenant.

In Bethany At a Dinner For Jesus And Lazarus, Mary Anoints Jesus

12 Therefore Jesus, six days before the Passover [Feast], came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the one whom Jesus raised from the dead. ² So they made a dinner for Him there. And Martha was serving. And Lazarus was one of the ones reclining-back [to eat] with Him. ³ Then Mary, having taken a pound of very-valuable genuine^[a] nard perfume, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled from the aroma of the perfume. ⁴ But Judas the Iscariot— one of His disciples, the one going to hand Him over— says, ⁵ “For what reason was this perfume not sold for three-hundred denarii^[b] and given to poor ones?” ⁶ Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. And having the money-box, he was carrying^[c] the things being put there. ⁷ So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. It was^[d] in order that she might keep it for the day of My preparation-for-burial. ⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me”. ⁹ Then the large crowd^[e] of the Jews came-to-know that He was there. And they came— not because of Jesus only, but in order that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead. ¹⁰ And the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus also, ¹¹ because many of the Jews were going-away and were believing in Jesus because of him.
