And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
All Commentaries on Hebrews 12:24 Go To Hebrews 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Instead of Moses, Jesus . Instead of the people, myriads of angels.
And to Jesus the mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better [things] than that of Abel. Did then the [blood] of Abel speak? Yea, he says, and by it he being dead yet speaks. Hebrews 11:4 And again God says, The voice of your brother's blood cries unto Me. Genesis 4:10 Either this [meaning] or that; because it is still even now celebrated: but not in such way as that of Christ. For this has cleansed all men, and sends forth a voice more clear and more distinct, in proportion as it has greater testimony, namely that by facts.
