    • 13:12

      Jesus also suffered outside the city gate: Under inspiration, Paul here draws a parallel: On Atonement Day, the remains of certain sacrificial animals were disposed of “outside the camp.” (Le 16:27; Heb 13:11) Similarly, Jesus’ death took place “outside the city gate,” that is, outside the walls of Jerusalem. (Joh 19:17, 20) Just as sacrificial animals were burned up completely, so it seems that Jehovah completely disposed of the physical body of his Son. (Compare Ac 2:31 and study note; 1Pe 3:18 and study note.) When Jesus appeared before God after his resurrection, he presented, not his physical body, but what was represented by his own blood, that is, the sin-atoning value of his perfect human life, “to sanctify the people.”​—1Co 15:50; Heb 9:11-14, 23-28; see study note on Heb 9:24.
