Hebrews 7:27 NLT,NIV,ESV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:26-28

26-28 Observe the description of the personal holiness of Christ. He is free from all habits or principles of sin, not having the least disposition to it in his nature. No sin dwells in him, not the least sinful inclination, though such dwells in the best of Christians. He is harmless, free from all actual transgression; he did no violence, nor was there any deceit in his mouth. He is undefiled. It is hard to keep ourselves pure, so as not to partake the guilt of other men's sins. But none need... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 7:1-99

Hebrews 7 IN THE LAST verse of chapter 6 the Lord Jesus has been presented to us in two characters. First, as the Forerunner; His arrival in heaven being the preliminary to the arrival there of the children whom God has given Him. Second, as an High Priest after Melchizedec’s order, whose ministry ensures the safe arrival of the children, and the fulness of their blessing. This last verse also has completed the digression which began with Heb_5:11 , and has brought us back to the exact point... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 7:26-28

The writer concludes that Christ is the perfect High Priest: v. 26. For such an High Priest became us who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; v. 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, when he offered up Himself. v. 28. For the Law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath which was since the Law maketh... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 7:11-28

Our Ever-Living and All-Sufficient Intercessor Hebrews 7:11-28 If, as we saw in our last reading, the Levitical priests have been superseded, clearly the whole order of things-that is, the Mosaic covenant under which these priests were appointed-has been superseded also. The law of the carnal-that is, the outward ritual-has passed away in favor of a new dispensation which deals with the heart and character. It served a temporary purpose, but we are living in an eternal order which is... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 7:1-28

The writer now takes up again the subject of the Priesthood of Jesus after the order of Melchisedek. Melchisedek is called "Priest of the Most High." His name means king of righteousness. He is called "King of Peace." The one instance of the exercise of his priesthood in the Old Testament reveals him administering sustenance. imparting blessing, and instituting communion. The similarity between him and his priesthood and Christ and His priesthood is so remarkable that it does appear as though... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 7:1-28

Our Great High Priest Hebrews 7:1-28 and Hebrews 8:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Christ was God's Priest after the order of Melchisedec. "The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." This oath is mentioned in the 110th Psalm. There it says: "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Let us consider an incomparable Psalm, a Psalm so full of beauty and of glory, that it scintillates with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:26-27

‘For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens, who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, (first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people), for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.’ Summing up then he describes the superiority of Jesus to earthly High Priests. What He is in His very nature and in His continual behaviour shows that He is the kind of High Priest... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:26-28

A Final Description of Jesus In His Status As High Priest (Hebrews 7:26-28 ). Having demonstrated that the priesthood of Jesus is older and of a higher level and of more value than that of Aaron the writer now caps his words by a description of Him as our great High Priest. He has previously established His greater priesthood. Now he applies the idea to Him as High Priest. He is a greater High Priest. read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:1-28

Hebrews 7:1-Hosea : . The Melchizedek Priesthood of Christ.— It is shown that Scripture itself makes reference to a type of priesthood which is quite distinct from the Levitical. The nature of this priesthood is set forth ( Hebrews 7:1-2 Samuel :) in terms of the description given in Genesis 14 of the priest Melchizedek. That some peculiar significance attached to him may be inferred from his name, and the name of his city. Still more suggestive is the fact that nothing is said as to his... read more
