From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 2. A minister of the sanctuary. Marg. "or holy things." Gr. twn agiwn. The Greek may either mean the sanctuary--denoting the Holy of Holies--or holy things. The word sanctuary HEBREW kodesh--was given to the tabernacle or temple as a holy place, and the plural form which is here used-- ta agia--was given to the most holy place by way of eminence --the full form of the name being-- HEBREW --kodesh kodushim, or, agia agiwn hagia hagion, (Jahn's Arche. & 328,) or, as it is here used, simply as ta agia. The connexion seems to require us to understand it of the most holy place, and not of holy things.
