Hebrews 9:23-25
International Standard Version
The Messiah’s Perfect Sacrifice
23 Thus it was necessary for these earthly[a] copies of the things in heaven to be cleansed by these sacrifices,[b] but the heavenly things themselves are made clean[c] with better sacrifices than these. 24 For the Messiah[d] did not go into a sanctuary made by human[e] hands that is merely a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear now in God’s presence on our behalf. 25 Nor did he go into heaven[f] to sacrifice himself again and again, the way the high priest goes into the Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
