Context — Christ’s Unchanging Nature

11Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.

13Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.

14For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. 15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
7	Matthew 5:11	Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
8	2 Corinthians 12:10	That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
9	Matthew 27:39–44	And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.
10	Hebrews 12:3	Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Hebrews 13:13 Summary

[This verse is calling us to be willing to suffer and face rejection with Jesus, just like He suffered outside the city gate. It means being willing to identify with Him in His humiliation and rejection, as described in Philippians 3:10 and Colossians 1:24. By doing so, we can experience the power of the cross and the joy of following Jesus, as seen in Romans 5:3-5 and 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. As we go to Jesus outside the camp, we can trust that He will give us the strength and courage we need to bear the disgrace that He bore, just as He promised in Matthew 11:28-30 and Hebrews 4:15-16.]

Gill's Exposition on Hebrews 13:13

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,.... Either of legal ceremonies, which are to be quitted; or of this world, which may be compared to a "camp"; for its instability, a camp not

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Hebrews 13:13

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Therefore - breathes deliberate fortitude (Bengel). Without the camp - `outside the legal polity' (Theodoret) of Judaism (cf. Hebrews 13:11).

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Hebrews 13:13

Therefore shows this to be a necessary duty, inferred from the former privilege; That since we have such an altar and sacrifice as Jesus, sanctifying us by his own blood, which he entered with to God, when he suffered without the gate; we ought and must go forth (from tabernacle service, consisting of meats and ceremonies, from Judaism, in all its parts abolished, and all erroneous doctrines, how numerous and strange soever, and all worldly things) unto Jesus, who was cursed for us, that we might be blessed, , in faith and love; not ashamed of, but glorying in his sufferings, and following and imitating of him, patiently and boldly bearing mockings, revilings, scourgings, crucifyings, and all other persecretions, which are parts of his cross, for his sake, ,6 ; making him in all our example, 4:12-19.

Trapp's Commentary on Hebrews 13:13

13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Ver. 13. Bearing his reproach] The reproach of saints is the reproach of Christ, and their sufferings his, Colossians 1:24; Nehemiah 4:3-5. God is more provoked than Nehemiah. He that saith, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," repays ofttimes, when we have forgiven, when we have forgotten; and calls to reckoning after our discharges.

Ellicott's Commentary on Hebrews 13:13

(13) The suffering “without the gate” was a symbol of His rejection by the Jews. All who would be His must share the reproach which came upon Him, who was cast out by His people and crucified (Hebrews 11:26): they also must go forth “without the camp,” forsaking the company of His foes. Each one must for himself make choice either of the synagogue or of the church of Christ; between the two there can be no fellowship.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Hebrews 13:13

Verse 13. Let us go forth therefore unto him] Let us leave this city and system, devoted to destruction, and take refuge in Jesus alone, bearing his reproach-being willing to be accounted the refuse of all things, and the worst of men, for his sake who bore the contradiction of sinners against himself, and was put to death as a malefactor.

Cambridge Bible on Hebrews 13:13

13. Let us go forth therefore unto him] Let us go forth out of the city and camp of Judaism (Revelation 11:8) to the true and eternal Tabernacle (Exodus 33:7-8) where He now is (Hebrews 12:2). Some have imagined that the writer conveys a hint to the Christians in Jerusalem that it is time for them to leave the guilty city and retire to Pella; but, as we have seen, it is by no means probable that the letter was addressed to Jerusalem.bearing his reproach] “If ye be reproached,” says St Peter, “for the name of Christ, happy are ye” (comp. Hebrews 11:26). As He was excommunicated and insulted and made to bear His Cross of shame, so will you be, and you must follow Him out of the doomed city (Matthew 24:2). It must be remembered that the Cross, an object of execration and disgust even to Gentiles, was viewed by the Jews with religious horror, since they regarded every crucified person as “accursed of God” (Deuteronomy 21:22-23; Galatians 3:13; see my Life of St Paul, ii. 17, 148). Christians shared this reproach to the fullest extent. The most polished heathen writers, men like Tacitus, Pliny, Suetonius, spoke of their faith as an “execrable,” “deadly,” and “malefic” superstition; Lucian alluded to Christ as “the impaled sophist;” and to many Greeks and Romans no language of scorn seemed too intense, no calumny too infamous, to describe them and their mode of worship. The Jews spoke of them as “Nazarenes,” “Epicureans,” “heretics,” “followers of the thing,” and especially “apostates,” “traitors,” and “renegades.” The notion that there is any allusion to the ceremonial uncleanness of those who burnt the bodies of the offerings of the Day of Atonement “outside the camp” is far-fetched.

Barnes' Notes on Hebrews 13:13

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp - As if we were going forth with him when he was led away to be crucified. He was put to death as a malefactor. He was the object of contempt and scorn.

Whedon's Commentary on Hebrews 13:13

13. Let us—The followers of the Crucified. Go—As he went. He went out of the material city, Jerusalem; we go out of the mystical city, Judaism.This is a striking proof that our epistle was addressed
