へブル人への手紙 7:24-28 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:27

Who needeth not daily - Though the high priest offered the great atonement only once in the year, yet in the Jewish services there was a daily acknowledgment of sin, and a daily sacrifice offered by the priests, at whose head was the high priest, for their own sins and the sins of the people. The Jews held that a priest who neglected his own expiatory sacrifice would be smitten with death. (Sanhedr., fol. 83.) When they offered this victim, they prayed the following prayer: "O Lord, I have... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:28

For the law maketh men high priests - The Jewish priests have need of these repeated offerings and sacrifices, because they are fallible, sinful men: but the word of the oath (still referring to Psalm 110:4 ;) which was since the law; for David, who mentions this, lived nearly 500 years after the giving of the law, and consequently that oath, constituting another priesthood, abrogates the law; and by this the Son is consecrated, τετελειωμενον , is perfected, for evermore. Being a high... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:25

Verse 25 25.Wherefore he is able to save, etc. This is the fruit of an eternal priesthood, even our salvation, if indeed we gather this fruit by faith as we ought to do. For where death is or a change, you will there seek salvation in vain; hence they who cleave to the ancient priesthood, can never attain salvation. When he says, them that come unto God, or who approach God, by this phrase he points out the faithful who alone enjoy the salvation procured by Christ; but he yet at the same time... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:26

Verse 26 26.For such an high priest, etc. He reasons from what is necessarily connected with the subject. These conditions, or qualifications, as they commonly say, are of necessity required in a priest — that he should be just, harmless, and pure from every spot. This honor belongs to Christ alone. Then what was required for the real discharge of the office was wanting in the priests of the law. It hence follows, that there was no perfection in the Levitical priesthood; nor was it indeed in... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:27

Verse 27 27.Who needeth not, etc. He pursues the contrast between Christ and the Levitical priests; and he points out especially two defects, so to speak, in the ancient priesthood, by which it appears that it was not perfect. And here, indeed, he only touches briefly on the subject; but he afterwards explains every particular more at large, and particularly that which refers to the daily sacrifices, as the main question was respecting these. It is briefly also that I will now touch on the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:28

Verse 28 28.For the law, etc. From the defects of men he draws his conclusion as to the weakness of the priesthood, as though he had said, “Since the law makes no real priests, the defect must by some other means be remedied; and it is remedied by the word of the oath; for Christ was made a priest, being not of the common order of men, but the Son of God, subject to no defect, but adorned and endowed with the highest perfection.” He again reminds us, that the oath was posterior to the law, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:11-25

Further proofs of the superiority of Christ's priesthood involved in the symbol of Melchizedek. Note: The word "Law" in Hebrews 7:11 , Hebrews 7:12 , Hebrews 7:19 must not be understood to refer to the Jewish system, but simply to the code of regulations by which the priesthood was appointed. The apostle is thinking throughout the chapter, not of the Jewish dispensation, but of the priesthood. The expression, "weak and unprofitable," does not imply that there was failure in God's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:11-28

Christ greater than Aaron. This passage is really just a commentary on the Old Testament oracle contained in Psalms 110:4 . There might appropriately be prefixed to it as a motto the words, "Behold, a greater than Aaron is here." I. THE IMPERFECTION OF THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD . (Verses 11-19) Aaron's mediation could not satisfy justice, or pacify conscience, or sanctify the heart. All that it could do was to exhibit a faint adumbration of the ideal priesthood. The words... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:23-24

And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because of being by death hindered from continuing. But he, because of his abiding forever, hath his priesthood unchangeable. This second point of contrast has already been twice touched on— Hebrews 7:8 , with respect to the claim to tithe; and Hebrews 7:16 , with respect to the order of priesthood: here it is with especial reference to the eternal personality, and hence the perpetual and complete efficiency, of our one Priest. The... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:23-25

The immortal priesthood of Christ enhanced by weighty considerations. The first is that the ancient priesthood passed through many hands, in which fact there were some obvious disadvantages. Some priests were so neglectful of their office that the prophet had to become a preacher of righteousness. All preachers had to pass through a process of education to gain fitness for their ministry; others were priests when there was no temple, no altar, and no holy of holies. Death came to them in... read more
