SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:17
porque el testimonio es de esta manera: Que t eres Sacerdote para siempre, segn el orden de Melquisedec.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 7:17
Verse 17. For he testifieth] That is, either the Scripture, in the place so often quoted, or God by that Scripture. Thou art a priest for ever] This is the proof that he was not appointed according to the carnal commandment, but according to the power of an endless life, because he is a priest for ever; i.e. one that never dies, and is never disabled from performing the important functions of his office; for if he be a priest for ever, he ever lives.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. For he testifieth , etc..] That is, either David, the penman of the psalm, or rather the Holy Ghost, the enditer of it, or God in the Scripture, in ( <19B004> Psalm 110:4) of this form of citing Scripture, (see Gill on Hebrews 2:6). thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec ; (see Hebrews 5:6,10 6:20).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-25 - The priesthood and law by which perfection could not come, are don away; a Priest is risen, and a dispensation now set up, by which tru believers may be made perfect. That there is such a change is plain The law which made the Levitical priesthood, showed that the priest were frail, dying creatures, not able to save their own lives, muc less could they save the souls of those who came to them. But the Hig Priest of our profession holds his office by the power of endless lif in himself; not only to keep himself alive, but to give spiritual an eternal life to all who rely upon his sacrifice and intercession. The better covenant, of which Jesus was the Surety, is not here contraste with the covenant of works, by which every transgressor is shut u under the curse. It is distinguished from the Sinai covenant with Israel, and the legal dispensation under which the church so lon remained. The better covenant brought the church and every believe into clearer light, more perfect liberty, and more abundant privileges In the order of Aaron there was a multitude of priests, of high priest one after another; but in the priesthood of Christ there is only on and the same. This is the believer's safety and happiness, that thi everlasting High Priest is able to save to the uttermost, in all times in all cases. Surely then it becomes us to desire a spirituality an holiness, as much beyond those of the Old Testament believers, as ou advantages exceed theirs.
