希伯来书 5:11 RCUVSS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 5:11

Of whom we have many things to say - There are many things which seem strange in regard to him; many things which are hard to be understood. Paul knew that what be had to say of this man as a type of the Redeemer would excite wonder, and that many might be disposed to call it in question. He knew that in order to be understood, what he was about to say required a familiar acquaintance with the Scriptures, and a strong and elevated faith. A young convert; one who had just commenced the Christian... read more

Hebrews 5:11-14. Of whom, &c. The apostle here begins an important digression, wherein he reproves, admonishes, and exhorts the believing Hebrews; we Apostles and other ministers of the word; have many things to say And things of great importance, in order to your full illumination, and perfect acquaintance, with that Christianity which you profess; and hard to be uttered Interpreted or explained, as δυσερμηνευτος signifies; though not so much from the subject matter, as because ... read more

5:11-6:20 CHRISTIAN GROWTH AND PERSEVERANCEWarning to the unstable (5:11-6:8)The writer would like to say more about Christ’s priesthood, but he feels his readers will not understand. Instead of being mature Christians they are spiritual babes, in spite of having received so much instruction in the Scriptures that by now they should be teachers themselves (11-12). They have not made the effort to study and understand the Word, and therefore are not able to apply its teachings to life’s... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 5:11

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.One can have sympathy with original readers of Hebrews, for not merely unto them but to many in our own times and in all ages, the writer's words are properly said to be "hard of interpretation." This is true of the thoughts of Melchizedek, which seem to have precipitated this word from the author; and it is also true of many other things in the epistle, such as the teaching on chastisement... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 5:11

Hebrews 5:11. Of whom— That is, Melchisedec: "Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be interpreted, so as to make you comprehend it, seeing you are νωθροι, remiss, careless;—have little or no desire to hear, or learn, or to attend to what you hear." See Ecclus. 9:29; Sir 11:12. Dr. Heylin reads the verse, We have many things to say upon this subject; thing, which it is difficult to render intelligible to you, because you are not in a disposition to apprehend them. The mention made of... read more

11. Here he digresses to complain of the low spiritual attainments of the Palestinian Christians and to warn them of the danger of falling from light once enjoyed; at the same time encouraging them by God's faithfulness to persevere. At Hebrews 6:20 he resumes the comparison of Christ to Melchisedec. hard to be uttered—rather as Greek, "hard of interpretation to speak." Hard for me to state intelligibly to you owing to your dulness about spiritual things. Hence, instead of saying many things,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 5:11

"Him" refers to Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10; cf. Hebrews 6:20 to Hebrews 10:18). Evidently the original readers had begun to let their minds wander as they heard the same things repeatedly. Rather than listening carefully, hearing completely, and comprehending clearly, they had become mentally and spiritually dull in their hearing. They were not slow learners but had allowed themselves to grow lazy. A spiritual callus was growing over their ears."Deafness or dullness in receptivity is a dangerous... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 5:11-12

A. The Danger of Immaturity (The Third Warning) 5:11-6:12"Dull of hearing" (Hebrews 5:11) and "sluggish" (Hebrews 6:12, Gr. nothroi in both cases) form an inclusio that frames this pericope and sets it off as a distinct textual segment. This Greek word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. The first two warnings in Hebrews were against drifting (Hebrews 2:1-4) and disbelief (Hebrews 3:7-19). All the warning passages in Hebrews involve actions in relation to the Word of God."It is commonly... read more
