A.T. Robertson Commentary Hebrews 12:24

"and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than [that of] Abel." — Hebrews 12:24 (ASV)

To Jesus (Ιησου). This great fact is not to be overlooked (Php 2:10f.). He is there as Lord and Saviour and still "Jesus."

The mediator of a new covenant (διαθηκης νεας μεσιτη). As already shown (7:22; 8:6,8,9,10; 9:15) and now gloriously consummated.

To the blood of sprinkling (αιματ ραντισμου). As in 9:19-28.

Than Abel (παρα τον Αβελ). Accusative as in 1:4.

Better (κρειττον). Comparative of καλος. Abel's blood still speaks (11:4), but it is as nothing compared to that of Jesus.
