From verse 28

  1. Hebrews 10:4–14Rank 1 from verse 28
    Open

    4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

    5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

    6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

    7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

    8Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

    9Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

    10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

    12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

    13From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

    14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

  2. Hebrews 9:14–22Rank 2 from verse 28
    Open

    14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

    15And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

    16For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

    17For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

    18Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

    19For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

    20Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

    21Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

    22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

  3. Leviticus 17:11Rank 3 from verse 28
    Open

    11For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

  4. Matthew 20:28Rank 4 from verse 28
    Open

    28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

  5. Exodus 24:7–8Rank 5 from verse 28
    Open

    7And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient.

    8And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.
