1 La suma pues de todo lo que habemos dicho es ésta: Tenemos un tal Pontífice, que está sentado en los Cielos á la diestra del throno de la grandeza, 2 Ministro de las cosas santas, y del verdadero tabernáculo, que fixó el Señor, y no el hombre. 3 Porque todo Pontífice está constituido para ofrecer dones, y sacrificios: por lo qual es necesario que éste tenga también algo que ofrecer: 4 Pues si él estuviese sobre la tierra, ni aún sería Sacerdote porque habría quienes ofreciesen los dones según la ley, 5 Los quales sirven de modelo y sombra de las cosas celestiales: Como le fué respondido á Moysés, quando estaba para acabar el tabernáculo: Mira, dice, que hagas todas las cosas según el modelo, que te fué mostrado en el monte. 6 Mas ahora él ha alcanzado tanto mejor ministerio, quanto es mediador de mejor testamento, el qual está establecido en mejores promesas. 7 Porque si aquel primero hubiera sido sin defecto, cierto no se buscaría lugar para el segundo. 8 Y así dice reprehendiéndolos: He aquí vendrán días, dice el Señor, en que consumaré sobre la casa de Israél, y sobre la casa de Judá, un testamento nuevo, 9 No como el testamento que hice con los padres de ellos, en el día que los tomé por la mano para sacarlos de la tierra de Egypto; por quanto ellos no perseveraron en mi testamento, yo también los he menospreciado, dice el Señor: 10 Porque éste es el testamento, que ordenaré á la casa de Israél después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: Dando mis Leyes en la mente de ellos, las escribiré también sobre su corazón: y seré á ellos por Dios, y ellos serán á mí por pueblo: 11 Y no enseñará cada uno á su próximo, ni cada uno á su hermano, diciendo: Conoce al Señor; porque todos me conocerán desde el menor hasta el mayor de ellos: 12 Porque yo les perdonaré sus iniquidades, y no me acordaré mas de sus pecados. 13 Pues llamándolo nuevo: dió por antiquado el primero: Y lo que se dá por antiquado y viejo, cerca está de perecer.

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).
Paul mixes the lowly things with the lofty, ever imitating his Master, so that the lowly become the path to the lofty, and through the former we are led to the latter, and when we are amid the great things we learn that these [lowly ones] were a condescension. This accordingly he does here also.

… thou mayest learn that this was far better, hear what He saith by the Prophet: "I will make a new covenant with you, putting my laws into their mind, and in their heart I will write them," and, "they shall be all taught of God."

… when Paul testified in the spirit concerning Christ "that he is at the right hand of God;" when the Father says, "Sit thou on my right hand;" when the Holy Spirit bears witness that he has sat down on "the right hand of the majesty" of God; we attempt to degrade him who shares the honour and the throne, from …
