Yohanes 14:6

14:6 Jesus replied, ¹  “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. ²  No one comes to the Father except through me.

Ibrani 10:19-20

Drawing Near to God in Enduring Faith

10:19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, ³  since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, 10:20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us ⁴  through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, ⁵ 

[14:6]  ¹ tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”

[14:6]  ² tn Or “I am the way, even the truth and the life.”

[10:19]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[10:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “that he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way,” referring to the entrance mentioned in v. 19.

[10:20]  ⁵ sn Through his flesh. In a bold shift the writer changes from a spatial phrase (Christ opened the way through the curtain into the inner sanctuary) to an instrumental phrase (he did this through [by means of] his flesh in his sacrifice of himself), associating the two in an allusion to the splitting of the curtain in the temple from top to bottom (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). Just as the curtain was split, so Christ’s body was broken for us, to give us access into God’s presence.
