Hebrews 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 10:21

And [having an] high priest over the house of God.
] The church of God, over which Christ is as prophet, priest, and King, and as the Son and owner of it; (See Gill on Hebrews 3:6); (See Gill on Hebrews 4:14). In the Greek text it is, "a great priest"; so the Messiah is called by the Targum on ( Zechariah 6:12 ) (br Nhk) , "a great priest", as he is; even a great high priest, as in ( Hebrews 4:14 ) , and greater than Aaron, and any of his sons.

Hebrews 10:21 In-Context

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

20 by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,

21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
