Hebrews 13:14

14 Here on earth, we who are believers do not have a city that will always be our home. But we are waiting for God's city that will come.

13:11Jewish priests could eat some of the meat from animals that people brought as sacrifices. See Leviticus 6:26, 29; 7:6-7. But Jesus' sacrifice was not like that. It was a special sacrifice to take away sins. See Leviticus 6:30; 16:27. The priests did not have authority to eat any meat from that kind of sacrifice. Only people who trust Jesus will receive anything from his sacrifice.
13:12They killed Jesus outside the city of Jerusalem. See John 19:20. The Israelites thought that a place ‘outside the city’ was a dirty place. It was a place where people were ashamed to go.
