Heb 5:1; 7:27

SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:3

Porque todo sumo sacerdote es puesto para ofrecer presentes y sacrificios; por lo cual es necesario que tambin ste tuviese algo que ofrecer.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 8:3

Verse 3. Every high
priest is ordained] kaqistatai, Is set apart, for this especial work.

Gifts and sacrifices] dwra te kai qusiav? Eucharistic offerings, and sacrifices for sin. By the former, God's government of the universe, and his benevolence to his creatures in providing for their support, were acknowledged. By the latter, the destructive and ruinous nature of sin, and the necessity of an atonement, were confessed.

Wherefore-of necessity] If Christ be a high priest, and it be essential to the office of a high priest to offer atoning sacrifices to God, Jesus must offer such. Now it is manifest that, as he is the public minister, officiating in the true tabernacle as high priest, he must make an atonement; and his being at the right hand of the throne shows that he has offered, and continues to offer, such an atonement.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices , etc..] (See Gill on Hebrews 5:1) wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer ; or this person; for the word man is not in the text, and seems not so proper a word to be supplied, since it was his human nature that it was necessary he should have to offer; he was a person, and existed as a divine person antecedent to his assumption of human nature: as God, he had nothing to offer, or that was capable of being offered; something to offer as a sacrifice was necessary to him as a priest, but not any thing was proper to him; Levitical sacrifices would not do, these could not take away sin; besides, the great high priest was not of the tribe of Levi, nor of the order of Aaron, and therefore could not offer these. An angelic nature would have been improper, that is not capable of dying; and the offering up of such an one would have been of no service to men, for whom priests are ordained; but an human nature is meant, and which it was necessary Christ should have, and offer, for it is for men that he became an high priest; it was human nature that had offended God, and satisfaction must be made in that nature; and this was capable of suffering and dying; yet not human nature under any consideration was necessary for him to have and offer; not merely as in a state of innocence, without any infirmity, nor as sinful, yet as perfect as to parts and qualities; and a nature, and not a person, was necessary to be had, and to be taken into close and inseparable union to his divine person; and of this there was a necessity, not absolute, or a necessity of coaction and force: Christ was not forced unto it; but on the foot of his suretyship engagements, and because of making satisfaction for the sin of man, it was necessary; otherwise Christ voluntarily engaged to be a priest, and willingly became man, and freely offered himself, soul and body, in the room and stead of his people.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-6 - The substance, or summary, of what had been declared was, tha
Christians had such a High Priest as they needed. He took upon himsel human nature, appeared on earth, and there gave himself as a sacrific to God for the sins of his people. We must not dare to approach God, or to present any thing to him, but in and through Christ, depending upo his merits and mediation; for we are accepted only in the Beloved. I all obedience and worship, we should keep close to God's word, which is the only and perfect standard. Christ is the substance and end of the law of righteousness. But the covenant here referred to, was that mad with Israel as a nation, securing temporal benefits to them. The promises of all spiritual blessings, and of eternal life, revealed in the gospel, and made sure through Christ, are of infinitely greate value. Let us bless God that we have a High Priest that suits ou helpless condition.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

3. A
priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore Christ, a high priest, must have gifts and sacrifices to offer, and a sanctuary in which to offer them.

Wherefore it is of necessity (oen anagkaion). Rend. wherefore it is necessary.

Somewhat to offer (o prosenegkh). Lit. what he may offer. The construction is unusual. Comp. Acts xxi. 16. The statement is a truism, unless it be assumed that the Hebrew Christians were ignorant of the doctrine of Christ's priesthood.
