Alas for you, you blind guides, who say, 'If anyone swears by the sanctuary, it does not matter, but if anyone swears by the gold of the sanctuary, it is binding.'

Blind fools! which is greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that makes the gold sacred?

and anyone who swears by the sanctuary is swearing by it and by him who dwells in it;

it is that on your heads may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of Abel the upright to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiah's son, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar!

and said, "This man said, 'I can tear down the sanctuary of God, and build it up in three days.' "

and saying, "You who would tear down the sanctuary, and build one in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

And at once the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split,

"We ourselves have heard him say, 'I will tear down this sanctuary built by men's hands, and in three days I will build another, made without hands.' "

And the passers-by jeered at him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! you who would tear down the sanctuary and build one in three days!

And the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two, from top to bottom.

it fell to his lot, according to the priests' practice, to go into the sanctuary of the Lord and burn the incense,

The people were waiting for Zechariah, and wondering that he stayed so long in the sanctuary.

But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. For his part, he kept making signs to them, and remained dumb.

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you! This age will be charged with it all!

as the sun was in eclipse. And the curtain before the sanctuary was torn in two.

Jesus answered, "Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it in three days!"

The Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and are you going to raise it in three days?"

But he was speaking of his body as the sanctuary.

the adversary of every being that is called a god or an object of worship, and so overbearing toward them as to enter God's sanctuary and take his seat there, proclaiming himself to be God??5 do you not remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you this?

This hope is like an anchor for our souls. It reaches up secure and strong into the sanctuary behind the heavenly curtain,

to officiate as priest in the sanctuary and in that true tent of worship which not man but the Lord himself set up.

Even the first agreement provided regulations for worship, and a sanctuary that was fully equipped.

For a tent was erected, with the lamp and the table and the presentation bread in the outer part, which was called the sanctuary.

And beyond the second curtain, in the part called the inner sanctuary,

In all this the holy Spirit was seeking to show that there was no free access to the sanctuary while the outer tent was still standing.

But when Christ came, as the high priest of the better system under which we live, he went once for all, through that greater, more perfect tent of worship not made by human hands nor a part of our material creation, into the sanctuary,

For it was not a sanctuary made by human hands and only copied after the true one that Christ entered, but he went into heaven itself, in order to appear now on our behalf in the very presence of God.

Nor does he go in to offer himself over and over again, like the high priest who enters the sanctuary year after year, taking with him blood that is not his own,

Since then, brothers, we have free access to the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,

For the bodies of the animals whose blood is taken into the sanctuary by the high priest are burned outside the camp.
