Book ◦ Chapter

But when this Priest
This phrase refers to Jesus Christ, who is depicted as the ultimate High Priest. In the context of the Book of Hebrews, Jesus is compared to the Levitical priests of the Old Testament. Unlike those priests who had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Jesus, as the High Priest, offers a singular, perfect sacrifice. The priesthood of Jesus is in the order of Melchizedek, a figure who appears inGenesis 14 and is mentioned inPsalm 110:4, symbolizing an eternal and superior priesthood.

had offered for all time
The sacrifice of Jesus is described as being once and for all, contrasting with the repeated sacrifices under the Old Covenant. This highlights the sufficiency and completeness of Christ's atoning work. The phrase "for all time" underscores the eternal efficacy of His sacrifice, fulfilling the prophecy of a new covenant found inJeremiah 31:31-34, where God promises to remember sins no more.

one sacrifice for sins
This refers to the crucifixion of Jesus, where He offered Himself as the perfect and final sacrifice for the sins of humanity. The concept of sacrifice is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where animals were offered to atone for sin. However, these were only a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, as seen inIsaiah 53, which prophesies the suffering servant who bears the sins of many.

He sat down
The act of sitting down signifies completion and rest. In the context of the priestly duties, no priest ever sat down in the temple because their work was never finished. Jesus sitting down indicates that His sacrificial work is complete and fully sufficient. This is a powerful image of His authority and the finality of His atoning work.

at the right hand of God
Sitting at the right hand of God is a position of honor and authority. This imagery is drawn fromPsalm 110:1, which is frequently quoted in the New Testament to affirm Christ's exaltation and divine authority. It signifies Jesus' role as King and Priest, ruling with God and interceding on behalf of believers. This position also indicates His victory over sin and death, affirming His divine nature and the fulfillment of His messianic role.

What Does Hebrews 10:12 Mean

But when this Priest

• “But when this Priest” points us straight to Jesus, the unique High Priest (Hebrews 4:14).

• Earthly priests stood daily, offering repeated sacrifices (Hebrews 10:11). In contrast, Jesus is singled out as “this” Priest, the One foretold inPsalm 110:4 and fulfilled inHebrews 7:26–28.

• The contrast (“But”) highlights a decisive change from the old covenant system to the once-for-all ministry of Christ.

had offered

• Jesus “offered” Himself voluntarily (John 10:17–18).

• Unlike animals brought by others, He was both Priest and sacrifice (Hebrews 9:14).

• The wording echoesHebrews 9:26, where He appeared “once at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.”

for all time

• His offering reaches forward and backward, covering every generation (Hebrews 9:12, “having obtained eternal redemption”).

• No repeat is needed; the cross is sufficient forever (1 Peter 3:18).

• This fulfilsIsaiah 53:10–11, where the Servant’s travail produces an enduring result.

one sacrifice for sins

• “One” stresses singularity: nothing else is required or accepted (Acts 4:12).

• “For sins” shows the target—our guilt—removed as promised inJeremiah 31:34, quoted earlier inHebrews 10:17.

•John 1:29 calls Him “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world,” matchingHebrews 9:28.

He sat down

• Sitting signifies finished work; no priest in the tabernacle ever sat (Hebrews 1:3).

• It also pictures honor and rest after completion (John 19:30, “It is finished”).

• Believers can therefore cease striving and enter His rest (Hebrews 4:10).

at the right hand of God

• The right hand is the place of supreme authority (Ephesians 1:20–21).

•Psalm 110:1 is fulfilled: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool.”

• From this position He intercedes for us (Romans 8:34) and will return in triumph (Hebrews 10:13).

summary

Hebrews 10:12 declares that Jesus, the promised High Priest, offered Himself once and for all, completely settling the sin issue. His finished work is proven by His seated position at God’s right hand, where He reigns and intercedes. The verse reassures us that nothing further is needed; Christ’s single, eternal sacrifice secures full forgiveness and everlasting confidence for all who trust Him.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(12)But this man.--Rather,but He. In the main this verse is a combination ofHebrews 7:27 (Hebrews 9:26) andHebrews 8:1. One addition is made, in the words, "for ever." These words (which occur in three other places,Hebrews 7:3;Hebrews 10:1;Hebrews 10:14) are by many joined with what precedes, by others with the latter part of the sentence, "it down on the right hand of God." The different editions of our Bible and Prayer Book (Epistle for Good Friday) are divided, some (including the earliest) having a comma at the word "ever," others at "sins." In most of our earlier English versions the construction adopted was shown by the arrangement of the words. Thus Tyndale has, "sat him down for ever;" and the Bishops' Bible, "is set down for ever." Coverdale (following Luther) is very clear on the other side: "when He had offered for sins one sacrifice which is of value for ever." Most modern commentators seem to adopt the latter view ("for ever sat down"), but hardly, perhaps, with sufficient reason. The analogy ofHebrews 10:14 is distinctly on the other side; and the Greek phrase rendered "for ever" is more suitably applied to the offering of a sacrifice than to the thought of the following words. The contrast toHebrews 10:11 is strongly marked. The sacrificial work has been performed, and the High Priest no longer "standeth ministering." The words "sat down" (Psalm 110:1) add to the priestly imagery that of kingly state. . . .
