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 Todo sumo sacerdote es escogido de entre los hombres. Él mismo es nombrado para representar a su pueblo ante Dios, y ofrecer dones y sacrificios por los pecados.

2 Puede tratar con paciencia a los ignorantes y extraviados, ya que él mismo está sujeto a las debilidades humanas.

3 Por tal razón se ve obligado a ofrecer sacrificios por sus propios pecados, como también por los del pueblo.

4 Nadie ocupa ese cargo por iniciativa propia; más bien, lo ocupa el que es llamado por Dios, como sucedió con Aarón.

5 Tampoco Cristo se glorificó a sí mismo haciéndose sumo sacerdote, sino que Dios le dijo:«Tú eres mi hijo;hoy mismo te he engendrado».
