James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 5:9

And having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation.Christ's being made perfect should not be understood in the sense that he was not previously perfect but as an emphasis upon the perfection of his qualifications of sympathy, love, mercy and understanding, which were so necessary in a high priest, and which could not be possessed fully by any person except one who had suffered. Amazingly, though most sufferers have travail because of sin,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 5:10

Named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.Here the author picks up the thread of argument relative to the high priesthood of Christ, intending to return a few verses later with a further elaboration of it; but characteristically of the author, he interrupts himself to deliver the third of five great exhortations in the epistle. It is precisely this trait which suggests Paul as the author.Named of God indicates that Christ's being made a priest forever after the order of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 5:9

Hebrews 5:9. Being made perfect,— Being consecrated, (see ch. Hebrews 2:10.) consecrated by sufferings to his office, and fully qualified for the discharge of it. But Archbishop Tillotson would translate it, having attained the end of his race through sufferings, that is, passed through sufferings in his way to consummate glory. Compare John 19:30. Luke 13:32.Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 2:10. See also Parkhurst on the word Τελειοω . read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 5:10

Hebrews 5:10. Called of God, &c.— It is not the word καλουμενος, as Heb 5:4 but προσαγορευθεις, having the title of high-priest given him of God the Father. He was not called to his office, as Aaron was, but he was something more; and, which shews an infinitely superior honour in this respect, he was saluted with that title by God the Father himself. Called after the order of Melchisedec means, that Christ was called to be a high-priest after the order of Melchisedech, not by having a... 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 5:9

This experience perfected Jesus Christ in the sense that it completed Him by giving Him experiential knowledge of what human beings must endure. Obeying God means trusting Him (cf. John 6:29; Acts 6:7; Romans 10:16; 1 Peter 1:22). Jesus is, of course, the source of eternal, not just temporal, salvation to all who initially believe on Him. However, in view of the writer’s emphasis, it may be that he was also referring here to the ultimate aspect of our salvation, our eternal inheritance (Hebrews... read more
