Comparative Texts:
 |
Chapter XXII,
On
Modesty,
Tertullian (c. 217) |
|
Book I, Chapter 3,
Ecclesiastical History, Eusebius of Caesarea, (c. 320). |
| From the
Geneva Notes.
 | "The Levitical priests offered
sacrifice after sacrifice, first for themselves, and then for the
people. Christ offered not for himself, but for others, not
sacrifices, but himself, not repeatedly, but once. This should not
seem strange, he says, for they are weak, but this man is
consecrated as an everlasting Priest, and that by an oath." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "It is hard to keep ourselves
pure, so as not to partake the guilt of other men's sins. But none
need be dismayed who come to God in the name of his beloved Son. Let
them be assured that he will deliver them in the time of trial and
suffering, in the time of prosperity, in the hour of death, and in
the day of judgment." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
| "He died once; he intercedes
perpetually." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "Another proof of superiority;
the Levitical priests were many, as death caused the need of
continually new ones being appointed in succession. Christ dies not,
and so hath a priesthood which passes not from one to another." |
|
| From
The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "Instead of the daily offering
for himself and others, Christ made but one offering, himself, when
he died upon the cross. This offering was complete when he, as the
high priest, ascended into the Holy of Holies above to intercede for
the sins of his people. The perfect high priest had offered the
perfect sacrifice and had dedicated the new and better
covenant." |

Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "Hebrews is similar to John in seeing
the old as no longer valid, but as once having been given by God." |
