MSB Majority Standard Bible
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
1 PORQUE todo pontífice, tomado de entre los hombres, es constituído á favor de los hombres en lo que á Dios toca, para que ofrezca presentes y sacrificios por los pecados:
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.
2 Que se pueda compadecer de los ignorantes y extraviados, pues que él también está rodeado de flaqueza;
3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
3 Y por causa de ella debe, como por sí mismo, así también por el pueblo, ofrecer por los pecados.
4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
4 Ni nadie toma para sí la honra, sino el que es llamado de Dios, como Aarón.
5 So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”
5 Así también Cristo no se glorificó á sí mismo haciéndose Pontífice, mas el que le dijo: Tú eres mi Hijo, yo te he engendrado hoy;
6 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
6 Como también dice en otro [lugar]: Tú eres sacerdote eternamente, según el orden de Melchîsedec.
7 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
7 El cual en los días de su carne, ofreciendo ruegos y súplicas con gran clamor y lágrimas al que le podía librar de la muerte, fué oído por su reverencial miedo.
8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
8 Y aunque era Hijo, por lo que padeció aprendió la obediencia;
9 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
9 Y consumado, vino á ser causa de eterna salud á todos los que le obedecen;
10 and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
10 Nombrado de Dios pontífice según el orden de Melchîsedec.
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
11 Del cual tenemos mucho que decir, y dificultoso de declarar, por cuanto sois flacos para oir.
12 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
12 Porque debiendo ser ya maestros á causa del tiempo, tenéis necesidad de volver á ser enseñados cuáles sean los primeros rudimentos de las palabras de Dios; y habéis llegado á ser tales que tengáis necesidad de leche, y no de manjar sólido.
13 For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
13 Que cualquiera que participa de la leche, es inhábil para la palabra de la justicia, porque es niño;
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
14 Mas la vianda firme es para los perfectos, para los que por la costumbre tienen los sentidos ejercitados en el discernimiento del bien y del mal.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    The blessed Paul wishes to show in the next place that this covenant is far better than the old. This then he does by first laying down remote considerations.

    … himself, hardly bearing it, because his scholars were delaying a long time in their earlier lessons: "For when for the time," saith he, "ye ought to be teachers, ye have need to be taught again which be the first principles of the oracles of God. " Wherefore we too mourn and lament.

    But let those here present whose habit of mind is mature, and who have their senses already exercised to discern good and evil, endure patiently to listen to things fitted rather for children, and to an introductory course, as it were, of milk: that at the same time both those who have need of the instruction may be benefited, …

    The same consideration applies to another passage, "He learnt obedience by the things which He suffered," and to His "strong crying and tears," and His "Entreaties," and His "being heard," and His" Reverence," all of which He wonderfully wrought out, like a drama whose plot was devised on our behalf.
