“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
And to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel — Jesus as mediator (mesitēs) of the new covenant stands at the center. The blood sprinkled (rantizo) speaks a better word (kreitton) than Abel's blood: where Abel's cry (Genesis 4:10) called for judgment, Christ's blood calls for forgiveness.
