Hebrews 7:26

“For such an high priest became us, etc..] Is suitable to us, answers to our cases and necessities, is every way such an one as is wanted: [who] is holy; by nature, originally and underivatively, perfectly and completely, internally as well as externally; he was typified by the high priest, who had holiness to the Lord written on his forehead, and far exceeds any of the priests in holiness; and such an one becomes us, for had he not been holy he could not have entered into the holy place for us, or have appeared there on our account, or have been our sanctification; so Philo the Jew speaks of the true priest as being not man, but the divine Word, and as free from all sin voluntary and…”

“such--as is above described. The oldest manuscripts read, "also." "For to US (as sinners; emphatical) there was also becoming (besides the other excellencies of our High Priest) such an High Priest." holy--"pious" (a distinct Greek word from that for holy, which latter implies consecration) towards God; perfectly answering God's will in reverent piety (Psa 16:10). harmless--literally, "free from evil" and guile, in relation to Himself. undefiled--not defiled by stain contracted from others, in relation to men. Temptation, to which He was exposed, left no trace of evil in Him. separate--rather, "separated from sinners," namely, in His heavenly state as our High Priest above, after He had been…”

“For such an High Priest became us - Was suited to our condition. That is, there was that in our character and circumstances which demanded that a high priest for us should be personally holy. It was not requisite merely that he should have great power; or that he should be of a rank superior to that of the Jewish priesthood; but there was a special propriety that he should surpass all others in “moral” purity. Other priests were mere mortal men, and it was necessary that their office should pass to other hands; they were “sinful” men also, and it was necessary that sacrifices should be made for themselves as well as others. We need, however, a different priest. We need not only one who ever…”

“For such an high priest suited us - Unholy, mischievous, defiled sinners: a blessed paradox! Holy - With respect to God. Harmless - With respect to men. Undefiled - With any sin in himself. Separated from sinners - As well as free from sin. And so he was when he left the world. And made - Even in his human nature. Higher than the heavens - And all their inhabitants. Hebrews 7:27”

“7:26-27 Jesus is unstained by sin and set apart from sinners (cp. 4:15), which makes him superior to the priests of the old covenant, who had to deal with their own sins as well as those of the people (see also 5:1-3). • has been given the highest place of honor in heaven: This is an affirmation of his uniqueness as High Priest (cp. 2:9; 5:9; Phil 2:5-11). • once for all: This does not mean once for all people but rather once, never to be repeated.”

“such: Heb 7:11, Heb 8:1, Heb 9:23-26, Heb 10:11-22 became: Heb 2:10; Luk 24:26, Luk 24:46 holy: Heb 4:15, Heb 9:14; Exo 28:36; Isa 53:9; Luk 1:35, Luk 23:22, Luk 23:41, Luk 23:47; Joh 8:29, Joh 14:30; Act 3:14, Act 4:27; Co2 5:21; Pe1 1:19, Pe1 2:22; Jo1 2:2, Jo1 3:5; Rev 3:7 made: Heb 1:3, Heb 4:14, Heb 8:1, Heb 12:2; Psa 68:18; Mat 27:18; Mar 16:19; Eph 1:20-22; Eph 4:8-10; Phi 2:9-11; Pe1 3:22; Rev 1:17, Rev 1:18 Hebrews 7:27”
