Hebräer 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.

Hebräer 5:10 In-Context

8 obwohl er Sohn war, an dem, was er litt, den Gehorsam lernte; und, vollendet worden,
9 ist er allen, die ihm gehorchen, der Urheber ewigen Heils geworden,
10 von Gott begrüßt als Hoherpriester nach der Ordnung Melchisedeks.
11 Über diesen haben wir viel zu sagen, und was mit Worten schwer auszulegen ist, weil ihr im Hören träge geworden seid.
12 Denn da ihr der Zeit nach Lehrer sein solltet, bedürfet ihr wiederum, daß man euch lehre, welches die Elemente des Anfangs der Aussprüche Gottes sind; und ihr seid solche geworden, die der Milch bedürfen und nicht der festen Speise.
