Hebreos 7:26-27 RVR1960

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:26

The Priest made separate from sinners. I. THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS RESPECT BETWEEN THE PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS AND THE PRIESTHOOD OF AARON . The Aaronic priest was also made separate from sinners; but he was only separated officially. The separation lay in nothing more than natural descent and the wearing of priestly vestments. The Aaronic priest indicated in a feeble symbolic way what a true priest ought to be. In course of time, indeed, he might become separated... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:26-28

The High Priest in whom man's need is met. "For such a High Priest became us, holy, harmless," etc. By way of introduction let us glance at three truths which are either expressed or implied in the text. 1. That man needs a high priest. 2. That the high priest who would satisfactorily meet man's need should possess certain qualities, Any priest will not do. There should be a fitness between the holder of the office and the duties of the office—between the priesthood and the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:26-28

Christ's superiority in the infinite perfection of his personal character. The second great argument for Christ's superiority to Aaron. The reason for the introduction of this argument here is probably that the writer is still thinking of Psalms 110:1-7 . The psalm speaks of Christ exalted to the highest heavenly position, and as a Priest for ever. Of both these points the echo rings out here in verses 26 and 28. Here is sharply drawn the picture of our Lord's personal perfection in a... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 7:27

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. The expression "daily" ( καθ ἡμέραν ) is not in strictness applicable to the high priest, who did not offer the daily sacrifice. The reference throughout what follows being to the high priest's peculiar functions on the Day of Atonement, κατ ἐνιαυτόν might have been expected. There are two tenable... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 7:27

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests - As the Jewish priests. This is an additional circumstance introduced to show the superior excellency of the High Priest of the Christian profession, and to show also how he was suited to our wants. The Jewish high priest was a sinful man. He had the same fallen and corrupt nature as others. He needed an expiatory sacrifice for his own sins as really as they did for theirs. When he approached God to offer sacrifice, it was needful to make an... 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
