Hebrews 5:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 5:3

Qualifications for High Priesthood

1 For every high priest taken from among men ^ais appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He can¹ have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to ^aweakness.

3 Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for ^ahimself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as ^aAaron was.

A Priest Forever

5 ^aSo also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:
^b“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.”

6 As He also says in another place:
^a“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;
