Hebrews 5:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 5:6

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”;

7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had ^aoffered up prayers and supplications, ^bwith vehement cries and tears to Him ^cwho was able to save Him from death, and was heard ^dbecause of His godly fear,

8 though He was a Son, yet He learned ^aobedience by the things which He suffered.

9 And ^ahaving been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

10 called by God as High Priest ^a“according to the order of Melchizedek,”
