Hebreos 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 5:10

Called of God an high priest, after the order of
Melchisedec.
] (ytrbd le) , according to what is said of him, ( Psalms 110:4 ) there is a resemblance between Melchizedek and Christ; many things that are said of the one, agree with the other: there is a likeness in Melchizedek to Christ; in his person, and what is said of him, that he was without father and mother; and in his office as a priest, and in the manner of his instalment into it; and in the antiquity, dignity, and perpetuity of it: and this is repeated for the further confirmation of Christ's priesthood, and is a conclusion of the truth of it from sufficient evidence: this does not so much design the constitution of Christ as priest, nor the call of him to that office, as the denomination or surnaming of him a priest of Melchizedek's order, because of the agreement between them; and contains a reason of Christ's being the author of eternal salvation, because he is a priest for ever; and prevents any objections against Christ's priesthood, and opens a way to discourse more largely concerning it.

Hebreos 5:10 In-Context

8 Y aunque era Hijo, por lo que padeció aprendió la obediencia;

9 Y consumado, vino á ser causa de eterna salud á todos los que le obedecen;

10 Nombrado de Dios pontífice según el orden de Melchîsedec.

11 Del cual tenemos mucho que decir, y dificultoso de declarar, por cuanto sois flacos para oir.

12 Porque debiendo ser ya maestros á causa del tiempo, tenéis necesidad de volver á ser enseñados cuáles sean los primeros rudimentos de las palabras de Dios; y habéis llegado á ser tales que tengáis necesidad de leche, y no de manjar sólido.
