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 Brothers and sisters, because of the blood of Jesus we can now confidently go into the holy place.

20 Jesus has opened a new and living way for us to go through the curtain. (The curtain is his own body.)

21 We have a superior priest in charge of God's house.

22 We have been sprinkled [with his blood] to free us from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with clean water. So we must continue to come [to him] with a sincere heart and strong faith.

23 We must continue to hold firmly to our declaration of faith. The one who made the promise is faithful.
