Hebrews 9:23-25

International Standard Version

The Messiah’s Perfect Sacrifice

²³ Thus it was necessary for these earthly^[a] copies of the things in heaven to be cleansed by these sacrifices,^[b] but the heavenly things themselves are made clean^[c] with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For the Messiah^[d] did not go into a sanctuary made by human^[e] hands that is merely a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear now in God’s presence on our behalf. ²⁵ Nor did he go into heaven^[f] to sacrifice himself again and again, the way the high priest goes into the Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
