Hebrews 7:27 NIV

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

Donald C. Fleming

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 7:27

Who needed not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for their own sins, and then for the sins of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.Some commentators see a difficulty in this verse because of its reference to the priest's daily offering for his own sins, whereas it appears that this was done only by the high priest on the day of atonement. Some have even dared to ascribe ignorance to the author of Hebrews; but as Lenski says,These... 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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 7:27

27. daily—"day by day." The priests daily offered sacrifices (Hebrews 9:6; Hebrews 10:11; Exodus 29:38-42). The high priests took part in these daily-offered sacrifices only on festival days; but as they represented the whole priesthood, the daily offerings are here attributed to them; their exclusive function was to offer the atonement "once every year" (Hebrews 10:11- :), and "year by year continually" (Hebrews 10:11- :). The "daily" strictly belongs to Christ, not to the high priests, "who... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 7:27

In Israel’s daily sacrifices, the priest had to offer a sacrifice for his own sins before he could offer one for the sins of others (Exodus 29:38-46; Leviticus 4:3-12). Also on the Day of Atonement the high priest would offer a sin offering for expiation for himself and then another one for the sins of the people (Leviticus 16:6-10). Jesus Christ does not need to offer up periodic sacrifices to atone for sin either for His own sins or for those of His people. His one sacrifice of both worship... read more
