希伯来书 7:26 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:26-28

The two priesthoods: a contrast. I. THE EXALTED AND PERFECT CHARACTER OF CHRIST IS CONTRASTED WITH THAT OF THE PRIESTS OF THE OLD LAW . There was a Divine fitness in the appointment of our Lord, because, as we learn from the evangelists, he was holy, and full of love to God; and so pure that the temptations of Satan and the wickedness of an" adulterous generation" never sullied his nature. He was harmless, and Pilate asked the question, "Why, what evil... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 7:26

For such an High Priest became us - Was suited to our condition. That is, there was that in our character and circumstances which demanded that a high priest for us should be personally holy. It was not requisite merely that he should have great power; or that he should be of a rank superior to that of the Jewish priesthood; but there was a special propriety that he should surpass all others in “moral” purity. Other priests were mere mortal men, and it was necessary that their office should... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 7:26-28

Hebrews 7:26-28. Such a High-Priest became us Or rather, was suited to us, who are unholy, mischievous, defiled sinners; who is holy With respect to God; harmless With respect to men; undefiled In himself by any sin; separate from sinners That is, from all defiling society of sinners, though mercifully conversant among them; and, to complete all, made higher Even in his human nature, than the heavens, and than all their inhabitants; being far more superior to the noblest of them... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 7:11-28

Christ, a priest like Melchizedek (7:11-28)The necessity for a new priesthood under Christ shows that the Levitical priesthood (and with it the law of Moses) failed to bring perfection. Therefore, the new priest belongs not to Aaron’s order but to Melchizedek’s (11-12). Christ could not be a priest in the Levitical order, because he was not from the tribe of Levi. He was from Judah, a tribe that had no part in priestly affairs (13-14).Laws concerning physical birth and age determined who could... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 7:26

For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.Here is the ultimate superiority of Christ, his sinless and perfect character; all the other arguments are true, but this is the climax. The use of the words "became us" is a reference to our human sense of what is fitting and appropriate and indicates that, even from a human point of view, Christ is not lacking in any quality that is either needed or desirable in his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:26-28

Hebrews 7:26-28. For such an high priest became us,— "For such an high-priest suited us,—was proper for us,—as was perfectly holy; that is, in a life quite pure; free from all sin, unpolluted."—The high-priest who was polluted in a legal sense under the Mosaic law, could not officiate.—Separate from sinners: our Saviour conversed freely with sinners; Mat 9:10-13 and he professed it to be his business to bring them to repentance, by instructingthem in the doctrines of his divine religion. But... read more

"For to US (as sinners; emphatical) there was also becoming (besides the other excellencies of our High Priest) such an High Priest." holy—"pious" (a distinct Greek word from that for holy, which latter implies consecration) towards God; perfectly answering God's will in reverent piety ( :-). harmless—literally, "free from evil" and guile, in relation to Himself. undefiled—not defiled by stain contracted from others, in... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 7:26

In view of His superior ministry it is only fitting that our High Priest should be a superior Person. "Holy" (Gr. hosios) stresses blamelessness. (Another word translated "holy," hagios, stresses separateness.) "Innocent" means without guile or malice. "Undefiled" looks at His absolute purity. "Separated from sinners" probably refers to His being in a different class from sinful people. [Note: Manson, pp. 116-17.] Jesus was not only inherently pure, but He remains pure in all His contacts with... read more
