John Chrysostom, on Heb 9:25

John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Heb 9:25 · Douay-Rheims
“Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies, every year with the blood of others:”
On this verse:
“"Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, as the High Priest entereth into the Holy place every year with blood of others." Seest Thou how many are the differences? The "often" for the "once"; "the blood of others," for "His own." Great is the distance. He is Himself then both victim and Priest and sacrifice. For if it had not been so, and it had been necessary to offer many sacrifices, He must have been many times crucified. "For then," he says, "He must often have suffered since the foundation of the world."”
