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 Und wiewohl er Gottes Sohn war, hat er doch an dem, was er litt Gehorsam gelernt.

9 Und da er vollendet war, ist er geworden allen, die ihm gehorsam sind, eine Ursache zur ewigen Seligkeit.

10 genannt von Gott ein Hoherpriester nach der Ordnung Melchisedeks.

11 Davon hätten wir wohl viel zu reden; aber es ist schwer, weil ihr so unverständig seid.

12 Und die ihr solltet längst Meister sein, bedürft wiederum, daß man euch die ersten Buchstaben der göttlichen Worte lehre und daß man euch Milch gebe und nicht starke Speise.
