Hebrews 5:5

5:5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, ¹  who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,” ² 

Hebrews 9:11

Christ’s Service in the Heavenly Sanctuary

9:11 But now Christ has come ³  as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

Hebrews 9:24

9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ⁴  of the true sanctuary ⁵  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

Hebrews 9:28

9:28 so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, ⁶  to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin ⁷  but to bring salvation. ⁸ 

¹ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Grk “I have begotten you”; see Heb 1:5.

³ tn Grk “But Christ, when he came,” introducing a sentence that includes all of Heb 9:11-12. The main construction is “Christ, having come…, entered…, having secured…,” and everything else describes his entrance.

⁵ tn Or “prefiguration.”

⁶ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

⁷ sn An allusion to Isa 53:12.

⁸ tn Grk “without sin,” but in context this does not refer to Christ’s sinlessness (as in Heb 4:15) but to the fact that sin is already dealt with by his first coming.

⁹ tn Grk “for salvation.” This may be construed with the verb “await” (those who wait for him to bring them salvation), but the connection with “appear” (as in the translation) is more likely.
