希伯来书 4:14 RCUVSS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 4:14

(14) All the chief points of the earlier chapters are brought together in this verse and the next:—the High Priest (Hebrews 2:17; Hebrews 3:1); His exaltation (Hebrews 1:3-4; Hebrews 1:13; Hebrews 2:9); His divine Sonship (Hebrews 1:0; Hebrews 3:6); His compassion towards the brethren whose lot He came to share (Hebrews 2:11-18).That is passed into the heavens.—Rather, that hath passed through the heavens. As the high priest passed through the Holy Place to enter the Holy of Holies, Jesus... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Hebrews 4:1-16

A Bible Reading Hebrews 4:0 etc. I want to conduct, so to say, a Bible reading, and to fix upon one or two special and pregnant words which invite us to the larger light, to the fuller opportunity, to the diviner joy. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews is an eloquent man; I do not know his name, I do not care to inquire into it, but he is a man of marked power of expression: he uses words uniquely, and with a personal accent, and he surrounds us with a radiant, most exhilarating... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:14-16

CHAPTER IV.THE GREAT HIGH-PRIEST."Having then a great High-priest, Who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we have not a high-priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but One that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need. For every high-priest, being... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Hebrews 4:1-16

CHAPTER 4 1. What the rest of God is (Hebrews 4:1-11 ) 2. The power of the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12-13 ) Hebrews 4:1-11 “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you might seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them, but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” These words of exhortation belong properly to the preceding chapter. What is the rest of which... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 4:14

4:14 {5} Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us {k} hold fast [our] profession.(5) Now he compares Christ’s priesthood with Aaron’s, and declares even in the very beginning the marvellous excellency of this priesthood, calling him the Son of God, and placing him in the seat of God in heaven, plainly and openly contrasting him with Aaron’s priests, and the transitory tabernacle. He expands on these comparisons in later... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:1-16

"Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." This admonition is a continuation of Ch. 3. The promise has been left us, but the promise is to faith: any who come short of it do so only through unbelief. Let us take solemnly to heart the significance of these lessons. "For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as unto them." Indeed, to us it has been preached in fulness: to them only "in part:" we therefore... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-16

COMPARED WITH MOSES AND JOSHUA The superiority of Christ to Moses is shown in chapter 3, the comparison in which case runs in two parallel lines of two members each: 1. Moses a servant over God’s house (Hebrews 3:5 ). 2. Christ a Son over His own house (Hebrews 3:6 ). That is an interesting phrase, “Whose house are we” (Hebrews 3:6 ), suggesting a plan for a sermon. In what sense are believers Christ’s house? He built them: “without him was not anything made that was made.” He bought them:... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 4:14-16

(14) Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. (15) For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (16) Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. I include these verses within one reading, because they are so interwoven,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:14

Having, therefore, as I told you before, a great high priest, Christ, who ascended into heaven, who can compassionate our infirmities, let us with a firm confidence approach the throne of grace, by faith, hope, charity, and good works. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:11-16

11-16 Observe the end proposed: rest spiritual and eternal; the rest of grace here, and glory hereafter; in Christ on earth, with Christ in heaven. After due and diligent labour, sweet and satisfying rest shall follow; and labour now, will make that rest more pleasant when it comes. Let us labour, and quicken each other to be diligent in duty. The Holy Scriptures are the word of God. When God sets it home by his Spirit, it convinces powerfully, converts powerfully, and comforts powerfully. It... read more
