ヘブル人への手紙 5:1-3 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:1

For every high priest, from among men being taken, for men is constituted in the things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. Here ἐξ ἀνθρώπων λαμβανόμενος is not (as the rendering of the A.V. might suggest) a limitation of the subject of the sentence, confining it to merely human high priests; it belongs to the predicate, expressing what is true of every high priest. The phrase expresses both the necessary humanity of the high priest, and also... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-3

The character and office of the Aaronic high priest foreshadows the higher glory of Jesus Christ. As there had been given some counsels to pray for Divine help because our Lord is the Divine High Priest, the thought advances to show the true idea of a high priest under the Mosaic Law, that over against him may appear in his glory the character of him who was one after the order of Melchizedek. The ancient priest was taken from among men to minister in spiritual things, as others are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-6

Christ's Divine appointment to the high priesthood the fulfillment of one essential qualification for that position. This begins the third great section of the Epistle. Section 1. ( Hebrews 1:1-14 . and 2) sets forth the Deity and humanity of the Lord Jesus; Christ's superiority to the angels through whose ministration the old dispensation was said to be established. Section it. ( Hebrews 3:1-19 . and 4) sets forth the surpassing greatness of our Lord as compared with Moses, the great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-6

The qualifications and functions of the true priest. I. HE IS TAKES FROM AMONG MEN . It is not an angelic ministry. The true humanity of Jesus must ever be emphasized. A perfect man is needed to be the true priest, but he must be a man. And the reason of this is found in the kind of work he has to do. Especially in that part of it which concerns the sin offering. He has to act for those who, begirt with infirmity, are continually showing their ignorance, and continually... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-10

Style high priesthood of Christ. In these verses the author proceeds with his discussion of the priestly character and work of the Lord Jesus, as typified by the Aaronical priesthood. I. WHAT A HIGH PRIEST IS . The office is a most honorable one; it is referred to in Hebrews 5:4 as "the honor." This will appear from a consideration of the high priest's functions and qualifications. 1. His functions. The most important of these are indicated in Hebrews 5:1 . 2. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:2

Who can have compassion on the ignorant and erring; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity . It is not easy to find a satisfactory English equivalent for μετριοπαθεῖν , translated as above in the A.V by Alford, "be compassionate towards;" in the margin of the A.V., "reasonably bear with;" by the recent Revisers, "bear gently with;" by Bengel, "moderate affici." The compound had its origin, doubtless, in the peripatetic school, denoting the right mean between passionateness... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:2

An essential qualification for successful ministry. "Who can have compassion on the ignorant," etc. According to our reading of the New Testament, the Christian ministry is not a priesthood except in the sense that, being Christians, ministers belong to that "holy priesthood," that "royal priesthood," of which every true Christian is g member. Yet there were certain qualifications of the Aaronic priesthood which are indispensable to the usefulness of the Christian ministry. One of these is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 5:3

And by reason hereof he ought (or, is bound, ὀφείλει ), as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. This obligation is evident in the ease of the high priests of the Law. Consequently, their sin offering for themselves, in the first place, was a prominent part of the ceremonial of the Day of Atonement, which the writer may be supposed to have especially in view ( Leviticus 16:1-34 ). But can we suppose any corresponding necessity in the case of Christ? The argument... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 5:1

For every high priest - That is, among the Jews, for the remarks relate to the Jewish system. The Jews had one high priest who was regarded as the successor of Aaron. The word “high priest” means “chief priest;” that is, a priest of higher rank and office than others. By the original regulation the Jewish high priest was to be of the family of Aaron Exodus 29:9, though in later times the office was frequently conferred on others. In the time of the Romans it had become venal, and the Mosaic... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 5:2

Who can have compassion - Margin, “Reasonably bear with.” The idea is that of “sympathizing with.” The high priest is taken from among men, in order that he may have a fellow-feeling for those on whose behalf he officiates. Sensible of his own ignorance, he is able to sympathize with those who are ignorant; and compassed about with infirmity, he is able to succour those who have like infirmities.And on them that are out of the way - The erring, and the guilty. If he were taken from an order of... read more
