“Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.”
Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate (pylē) to sanctify the people by his own blood — Jesus' crucifixion outside Jerusalem's gate parallels the ritual burning outside the camp. Sanctify (hagiazo) the people through his blood: Christ becomes the sin offering.
