Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
That he might sanctify the people - That he might consecrate them to God, and make an atonement for their sins, he suffered without the gate at Jerusalem, as the sin-offering was consumed without the camp when the tabernacle abode in the wilderness. Perhaps all this was typical of the abolition of the Jewish sacrifices, and the termination of the whole Levitical system of worship. He left the city, denounced its final destruction, and abandoned it to its fate; and suffered without the gate to bring the Gentiles to God.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Wherefore Jesus--In order that the Antitype might fulfil the type. sanctify--Though not brought into the temple "sanctuary" (Heb 13:11) His blood has been brought into the heavenly sanctuary, and "sanctifies the people" (Heb 2:11, Heb 2:17), by cleansing them from sin, and consecrating them to God. his own--not blood of animals. without the gate--of Jerusalem; as if unworthy of the society of the covenant-people. The fiery ordeal of His suffering on the cross, answers to the burning of the victims; thereby His mere fleshly life was completely destroyed, as their bodies were; the second part of His offering was His carrying His blood into the heavenly holiest before God at His ascension, that it should be a perpetual atonement for the world's sin.
John Gill Bible Commentary
Wherefore Jesus also,.... In order to answer the type of him; that he might sanctify the people with his own blood: by "the people" are meant the people who are the objects of divine love and favour; a chosen and covenant people; a distinct and peculiar people; Christ's own special people, by the gift of his Father to him: and the sanctification of them does not design the internal sanctification of them, though this is from Christ, and in consequence of his blood; nor does it so much regard the cleansing of the filth of sin, though Christ's blood sanctifies, in this sense; but rather the expiation of the guilt of sin, which Christ has fully took away; complete pardon being procured, and a perfect righteousness brought in: and this by "his own blood"; the priests sanctified, to the purifying of the flesh, with the blood of others, with the blood of bulls and goats; but Christ with his own blood, which he was, really, a partaker of; and his human nature, being in union with his divine person, as the Son of God, it had a virtue in it, to sanctify and cleanse from all sin, and to make full expiation of it; in shedding of which, and sanctifying with it, he has shown great love to his people: and, that he might do this agreeably to the types of him on the day of atonement, he suffered without the gate; that is, of Jerusalem: the Syriac version reads, "without the city"; meaning Jerusalem; which answered to the camp of Israel, in the wilderness; without which, the bodies of beasts were burnt, on the day of atonement: for so say (z) the Jews; "as was the camp in the wilderness, so was the camp in Jerusalem; from Jerusalem to the mountain of the house, was the camp of Israel; from the mountain of the house to the gate of Nicanor, was the camp of the Levites; and from thence forward, the camp of the Shechinah, or the divine Majesty:'' and so Josephus (a) renders the phrase, without the camp, in Lev 16:27 by ; "in the suburbs"; that is, of Jerusalem, where Christ suffered, (z) T. Bab. Zebachim, fol. 116. 2. Bemidbar Rabba, sect. 7. fol. 188. 3. 4. Maimon. Beth Habbechira, c. 7. sect. 11. (a) Antiqu. l. 3. c. 10. sect. 3.

He highlights the importance of entire sanctification as a distinct experience subsequent to justification, essential for the salvation of souls, the purity and power of the church, and the glory of God.

The Way to Holiness
By James Blaine Chapman0PSA 51:7JHN 17:17ACT 26:18ROM 15:16TIT 3:5HEB 13:12JAS 2:24James Blaine Chapman emphasizes the importance of being sanctified through various means as outlined in the Bible. The theologians explain that we are sanctified instrumentally by the Word of God, efficaciously by the blood of Jesus, conditionally by faith, and efficiently by the Holy Ghost. It is crucial to adhere to the terms laid down in the Word for sanctification, as Bible holiness is the only true holiness. The blood of Jesus is the sole price of our redemption, and faith is the prime condition for deliverance, leading to victory. The Holy Spirit plays different roles in convicting, regenerating, and sanctifying believers, coming in Pentecostal fullness and power for entire sanctification.
The Importance of Holiness

He stresses the significance of the baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire for experiencing God's love, power, and truth, with speaking in tongues as a sign.

Sanctified by God the Son
By Dougan Clark0ROM 3:241CO 1:30GAL 2:20EPH 5:25HEB 13:121PE 1:181JN 1:7Dougan Clark preaches on the parallel between justification and sanctification, emphasizing that both are by God's grace, Christ's blood, and our faith. Just as we are justified by the grace of God and the blood of Christ, we are also sanctified by the same means. The vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the foundation of all gospel blessings, including justification and sanctification, and we are forever linked to His atonement for the cleansing of our hearts. The atoning sacrifice of Jesus not only removes our guilt but also aims at saving us from sin, leading to entire sanctification.
Holiness Instrumented

He emphasizes that holiness is not merely external rituals but a heart transformation that separates us from sin to be fit for God's presence. The sermon delves into the biblical foundation of holiness, the necessity of purity in heart and conduct, and the continuous pursuit of sanctification through God's grace and power.
Sanctified by Faith
By Aaron Hills0MAT 3:11MAT 5:3LUK 11:11ACT 5:32ACT 15:8ACT 26:18ROM 6:13EPH 5:25HEB 13:121JN 1:7Aaron Hills preaches on the conditions for receiving the Spirit in sanctifying power, emphasizing the importance of conviction of need, sorrow for past shortcomings, prayer, obedience, hunger for righteousness, consecration, and faith in Jesus. He highlights the authoritative voice of Jesus on matters of grace and the necessity of a second work of grace, specifically sanctification. Hills explains that sanctification is received by faith and refutes common misconceptions about its attainment, emphasizing that it is an instantaneous work of the Holy Spirit, not a gradual process or something obtained at death.

He highlights that while the apostles preached repentance and faith to the world, they also taught that Christ dwells in those who believe, transforming them and making them new creations. Fox points out that for the redeemed, the teachings of repentance and baptism become unnecessary as they are already brought to God. He stresses the importance of recognizing the eternal priesthood of Christ, who is without beginning or end, and encourages believers to embrace this truth.
Consider Him
By Ian Paisley0HEB 2:9HEB 4:14HEB 6:20HEB 7:22HEB 12:2HEB 12:24HEB 13:12Ian Paisley preaches about the Christian's journey as a great race, emphasizing the need to endure and overcome obstacles to obtain the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. He highlights the importance of fixing our eyes on Jesus, who endured all contradictions and challenges, to find strength and avoid fainting. Through various references in the book of Hebrews, he urges believers to consider Jesus in His different roles - Crucified, Identified, Qualified, Verified, Magnified, Glorified, and Sanctified - to draw strength, hope, and sanctification from Him.
Sanctification

Warner addresses the question of sanctification, emphasizing the distinction between the actual performance of Christian duty and the spirit of entire loyalty to God. He explains that sanctification is about purity of moral nature and being consecrated to God, achieved through faith in Christ and a willingness to die to sin and self.

Preach It Logically and Theologically
By Arthur Vess0ISA 1:181CO 1:18COL 2:8TIT 2:1HEB 13:12Arthur Vess preaches on the significance of surrendering to God as the great center and culmination of Bible truth and doctrine. He emphasizes the reasonableness of coming to God for forgiveness and restoration, quoting Isaiah 1:18 to illustrate the transformation from scarlet sins to white as snow. Vess connects surrender to the climax of Calvary, the divine philosophy of the ages, and the essence of all sound doctrine, showing how it is both demanded by the fall and provided in the atonement through Jesus' sacrifice. He challenges listeners to embrace surrender as a foundational truth that must be integrated into every system of doctrine to remain faithful to God and His Word.
Let Us Go Forth Therefore Unto Him Without the Camp
By C.H. Spurgeon0Following ChristSeparation from the WorldHEB 13:12C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the call for Christians to follow Jesus by leaving the camp of worldly sin and religion, as Christ Himself did when He bore His cross outside the gate. This separation is not for the sake of being different, but to align with Christ's example and to grow in grace. Spurgeon encourages believers to embrace the challenges of a life set apart, asserting that while it may bring sorrow and struggle, it ultimately leads to joy and communion with God. The path of separation is portrayed as a highway of safety, where true peace and refreshment are found in Christ. The sermon concludes with the promise that enduring the trials of witness-bearing will be rewarded with eternal glory.

He also discusses the roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the sanctification process, underscoring that it is ultimately God's work in the believer's life.
