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

So also Christ glorified not himself; - see the notes at John 8:54. The meaning is, that Jesus was not ambitious; that he did not obtrude himself into the great office of high priest; he did not enter upon its duties without being regularly called to it. Paul claimed that Christ held that office; but, as he was not descended front Aaron, and as no one might perform its duties without being regularly called to it, it was incumbent on him to show that Jesus was not an intruder, but had a regular... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 5:4-6

Hebrews 5:4-6. And no man Who has any regard to duty or safety; taketh this honour This awful office, attended with a high degree of responsibility; unto himself, but he only that is called of God to it; as was Aaron And his posterity, who were all of them called at one and the same time. But it is observable Aaron did not preach at all, preaching being no part of the priestly office. So also Christ glorified not himself See John 8:54; to be made a High-Priest That is, did not... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 5:5

So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee: as he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest forever After the order of Melchizedek.This is one of the most significant declarations about Christ to be found in all the Bible; and, in all probability, the author of Hebrews was the first ever to understand it and to find in this Psalms 110 the Old Testament prophecy that united in a single person the... read more

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

Hebrews 5:5. So also Christ glorified not himself— So likewise Christ did not take the honour to himself of being an high-priest. "He did not of himself assume that dignity, but was expressly appointed to it by Him, who declared concerning him, that he was his Son." read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 5:5

5. glorified not himself—did not assume the glory of the priestly office of Himself without the call of God (John 8:54). but he that said—that is, the Father glorified Him or appointed Him to the priesthood. This appointment was involved in, and was the result of, the Sonship of Christ, which qualified Him for it. None but the divine Son could have fulfilled such an office (John 8:54- :). The connection of Sonship and priesthood is typified in the Hebrew title for priests being given to David's... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 5:1-10

II. THE HIGH PRIESTLY CHARACTER OF THE SON 3:1-5:10The writer proceeded to take up the terms "merciful" and "faithful" from Hebrews 2:17 and to expound them in reverse order. He spoke of the faithfulness of Jesus (Hebrews 3:1-6, exposition) and the need for his hearers to remain faithful as well (Hebrews 3:7 to Hebrews 4:14, exhortation). He then encouraged his audience with a reminder of Jesus’ compassion as a merciful high priest in the service of God (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10,... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 5:5-6

God appointed Christ as king-priest when He sat down at the right hand of God following His ascension (Hebrews 1:5). The title "Christ" (Anointed One) stresses our Lord’s humility. As the Anointed of God, Jesus (cf. Hebrews 4:14) did not exalt Himself as He might well have done. [Note: Guthrie, p. 127.] These two offices and functions were primary in the writer’s argument in this epistle. Psalms 2:7-9 and Psalms 110:1 (cf. Hebrews 1:13) predicted Messiah’s reign. Psalms 110:4 also predicted His... read more
