Hebreos 5:2 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 5:2

Who can have compassion on the ignorant
Who have committed sins of ignorance, and bring their sacrifices for them; these he does not insult and upbraid, nor break out into anger and indignation against; but pities them, and sympathizes with them; has a just measure of compassion suitable to their condition, and bears with them with great moderation and temper:

and on them that are out of the way;
of God's commandments; who are like sheep going astray, and turn to their own way; who transgress the law of God, and err from it; perhaps such who sin knowingly and wilfully, and through infirmity, are meant:

for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;
not of body only, but of mind, sinful infirmity; he had much of it, it beset him all around; he was "clothed" with it, as the Syriac version renders it; as Joshua the high priest was with filthy garments, ( Zechariah 3:3 ) .

Hebreos 5:2 In-Context

1 Porque todo sumo sacerdote tomado de entre los hombres es constituido a favor de los hombres en las cosas que a Dios se refieren, para presentar ofrendas y sacrificios por los pecados;
2 y puede obrar con benignidad para con los ignorantes y extraviados, puesto que él mismo está sujeto a flaquezas;
3 y por esa causa está obligado a ofrecer sacrificios por los pecados, por sí mismo tanto como por el pueblo.
4 Y nadie toma este honor para sí mismo, sino que lo recibe cuando es llamado por Dios, así como lo fue Aarón.
5 De la misma manera, Cristo no se glorificó a sí mismo para hacerse sumo sacerdote, sino que lo glorificó el que le dijo: HIJO MIO ERES TU, YO TE HE ENGENDRADO HOY;
