Hebrews 3:1-6

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:2

Faithful to him, &c. To be made, may apply to Christ as man; but here the sense is, who made him head over all his Church. (Witham) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:3

Of greater glory, &c. The apostle shews Christ to be greater than Moses several ways. 1. Christ is as much above Moses, as an architect above the hour which he has made; for Christ (who, as God, made all things) is the builder of that very house, that is, of the house of Israel, of which Moses was only a part of a member. 2. Moses was only employed in the house, as a servant, to give testimony to others, as he was ordered. (Witham) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:6

Christ, as a Son in his own house: which house, or Church of the faithful are we: and Christ is our only Lord and Master, equally with the Father, and the Holy Ghost; but we are all members, and profitable members, if we retain firm confidence in him, and the glory of hope, or a glorious hope unto the end. (Witham) --- Hitherto St. Paul endeavours to detach the Hebrews from Moses and the law, to attach them to Christ and his gospel. What follows, is an exhortation to persevere in the faith,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:1-6

1-6 Christ is to be considered as the Apostle of our profession, the Messenger sent by God to men, the great Revealer of that faith which we profess to hold, and of that hope which we profess to have. As Christ, the Messiah, anointed for the office both of Apostle and High Priest. As Jesus, our Saviour, our Healer, the great Physician of souls. Consider him thus. Consider what he is in himself, what he is to us, and what he will be to us hereafter and for ever. Close and serious thoughts of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-99

Hebrews 3 THE FIRST CHAPTER has presented to us the Lord Jesus as the Apostle, that is, as the Sent One, who came forth from God to us, bringing us the Divine revelation. The second set Him before us as the High Priest, who has gone in from us to God, representing us and maintaining our cause in His presence. Now we are bidden to consider Him very thoroughly in both these characters. We are to set our minds to it as those who aim at discovering all that is involved. These Hebrews had taken up... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 3:1-6

The Superiority of Christ over Moses. Christ compared with Moses: v. 1. Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, v. 2. who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all His house. v. 3. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house. v. 4. For every house is builded by some man; but He... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hebrews 3:1

Hebrews CONSIDER JESUS Heb_3:1 THE kinds of consideration enjoined in these two exhortations are somewhat different. The former of them is expressed by a word which means fixed attention and close scrutiny. It is employed, for instance, by our Lord in His injunctions to consider the ravens and the lilies, and by Peter in his account of his vision of the great sheet let down from heaven, upon which, when he had fixed his eye, he considered. Such a fastened gaze of awakened interest and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-11

Superior to Moses Hebrews 3:1-11 Dwell on those opening words:- holy , such is God’s ideal for us; brethren , by reason of our union with Christ, and with one another in Him; partakers, etc ., God is ever calling upward and heavenward. Jesus comes from God as Apostle and goes for us to God as Priest . In His human life, how humble and faithful; but He originally built the Jewish polity and commonwealth! He was and is as much greater than Moses as the architect than the foreman and the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 3:1-19

The argument now passed to the second claim of superiority, that over all human leaders. He is first seen as superior to Moses and Joshua. He is "the Apostle" completely fulfilling the function represented by the work of these two; He is also 'High Priest," thus realizing everything suggested in the position of Aaron. The position of Moses was that of a servant in the house of God. His faithfulness was shown in that he made all things according to the pattern. The spiritual house of God... read more
