ヘブル人への手紙 5:2-3 JC

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 5:2

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 5:3

And by reason hereof - Because he is a sinner; an imperfect man. “As for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.” To make an expiation for sins. He needs the same atonement; he offers the sacrifice for himself which he does for others; Leviticus 9:7. The same thing is true of the ministers of religion now. They come before God feeling that they have need of the benefit of the same atonement which they preach to others; they plead the merits of the same blood for their own salvation... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 5:2-3

Hebrews 5:2-3. Who can have compassion The word μετριοπαθειν , here used, signifies to feel compassion in proportion to the misery of others. The apostle’s words imply that a high-priest, who is not touched with a feeling of the weaknesses and miseries of others, is unfit to officiate for them, because he will be apt to neglect them in his ministrations, or be thought by the people in danger of so doing. On the ignorant Who, not being properly instructed in divine things, are involved... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-10

A high priest for the faithful (4:14-5:10)Because people were in danger of denying their Christian faith and going back to Judaism, they are reminded that Christ’s priesthood is incomparably superior to Aaron’s. Christ needs no tabernacle or temple, for he has passed through the heavens and into the presence of God. Through him, believers also may enter this presence, and ask God’s help during their temptations. They can depend upon Christ, because being man he can sympathize with them, and... read more
