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 Since then, brethren, we have free access to the Holy place through the blood of Jesus,

20 by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil--that is to say, of His earthly nature--

21 and since we have a great Priest who has authority over the house of God,

22 let us draw near with sincerity and unfaltering faith, having had our hearts sprinkled, once for all, from consciences oppressed with sin, and our bodies bathed in pure water.

23 Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, for He is faithful who gave us the promises.
