What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us." He had said that those sacrifices are not offered; he reasoned from what is written, and from what is not written; moreover also he put forward the prophetic word which says, "sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not." He had said that He had forgiven their sins. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
What does He witness? That He has completely delivered us from sins "by one offering," so that we have no need for a second.
Oecumenius
"And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us." What does it bear witness to? That our sins have been forgiven.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas

Since this text has been explained above in chap. 8, we pass over it at present. Yet it can be divided into two parts: first, he cites the authority; secondly, he argues from it (v. 18).
