hebreus-5:10-6:6-nvipt

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 5:10

(10) Called.—Rather, addressed. The divine words are, “Thou art a priest for ever.” In the quotation from the Psalm, “priest” is now altered into “High Priest.” The purport remains the same; or, rather, it is by this change of word that the meaning of the Psalm is fully expressed. This repetition of the words of Hebrews 5:6 at the close of the paragraph is singularly impressive.At this point the course of the argument is interrupted by a long digression (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20), to which... read more

Hebrews 5:8 God had but one Son free from sin; but none of all His sonnes free from correction. Herrick. Contrast the erroneous view of the Theologia Germanica (xxx), which affirms that Christ's 'words and works and ways, His doings and refrainings, His speech and silence, His sufferings, and whatsoever happened to Him, were not forced upon Him, neither did He need them, neither were they of any profit to Himself".

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-14

6CHAPTER 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

CHAPTER 5 1. What the High Priest is and represents (Hebrews 5:1-4 ) 2. The fulfillment in Christ made High Priest (Hebrews 5:5-10 ) 3. The spiritual condition of the Hebrew-Christians (Hebrews 5:11-14 ) Hebrews 5:1-4 In developing the priesthood of Christ and showing how it excels the earthly priesthood and is more glorious than the priesthood of Judaism, the principles of priesthood of the levitical system are first stated. Upon this follows the comparison of the priesthood of Christ... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 5:1-14

"For every High Priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins." The apostle of course refers to the priesthood of Aaron and his sons, which is typical of the priesthood of the Lord Jesus, and first noted are some definite comparisons. Being ordained for men in things pertaining to God indicates a provision from God's hand to care for man's interests as regards his relationship with Cod. The offering of gifts... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-14

CHRIST AND MELCHISEDEC It has already become evident to the careful reader that the author of this epistle is particularly desirous to bring out the comparison between the priesthood of Christ and that of Aaron. He approached it at the close of chapter 2 (Hebrews 2:17-18 ), and was on the point of making the comparison (Hebrews 3:1 ) when he was led into the digression about Moses (Hebrews 3:2-6 ), and then Joshua (Hebrews 3:4-11 ). But he returns to it again at the close of chapter 4 (see... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 5:9-14

(9) And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; (10) Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. (11) Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. (12) For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. (13) For every one that useth... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 5:10

There is but one eternal Pontiff, one universal Priest given by God all others are his vicars, but not successors, whom he associates to his priesthood, to continue those same functions on earth which he himself exercises in heaven, and which had been prefigured in Melchisedech. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 5:1-10

1-10 The High Priest must be a man, a partaker of our nature. This shows that man had sinned. For God would not suffer sinful man to come to him alone. But every one is welcome to God, that comes to him by this High Priest; and as we value acceptance with God, and pardon, we must apply by faith to this our great High Priest Christ Jesus, who can intercede for those that are out of the way of truth, duty, and happiness; one who has tenderness to lead them back from the by-paths of error, sin,... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 5:1-99

Hebrews 5 THE EARLY PART of chapter 5 continues this subject. The high priests of old represented men and acted for them in things relating to God. But then acting for men they had to be compassionate and sympathetic towards men. Hence they were taken from amongst men, being of the family of Aaron. Had God instituted an holy angel to act as high priest on Israel’s behalf there might have been great gain Godward, as regards the accuracy and fidelity with which all priestly functions were... read more
