But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God;
but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
But this man - The Lord Jesus. The word "man" is not in the original here. The Greek is literally "but this;" to wit, this priest. The apostle does not state here whether he was a man, or a being of a higher order. He merely mentions him as a priest in contradistinction from the Jewish priests.
After he had offered one sacrifice for sins - By dying on the cross. This he did but once; this could not be repeated; and need not be repeated, for it was sufficient for the sins of the world.
For ever sat down - That is, he sat down then to return no more for the purpose of offering sacrifice for sin. He will no more submit himself to scenes of suffering and death to expiate human guilt.
On the right hand of God - see the notes on Mark 16:19; compare the notes on Ephesians 1:20-22.
10:12 But he - The virtue of whose one sacrifice remains for ever. Sat down - As a son, in majesty and honour.
