Hebrews 12:24
To Jesus ( Ιησου ). This great fact is not to be overlooked (Php 2:10f.). He is there as Lord and Saviour and still "Jesus."The mediator of a new covenant ( διαθηκης νεας μεσιτη ). As already shown (7:22; 8:6, 8, 9, 10; 9:15) and now gloriously consummated.
To the blood of sprinkling ( αιματ ραντισμου ). As in 9:19-28.
Than Abel ( παρα τον Αβελ ). Accusative as in 1:4.
Better ( κρειττον ). Comparative of καλος. Abel's blood still speaks (11:4), but it is as nothing compared to that of Jesus.
