SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:6
Como tambin dice en otro lugar: T eres Sacerdote para siempre, segn el orden de Melquisedec.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 5:6
Verse 6. He saith also in another place] That is, in Psa. cx. 4, a psalm of extraordinary importance, containing a very striking prediction of the birth, preaching, suffering, death, and conquests of the Messiah. See the notes there. For the mode of quotation here, See the note on "chap. ii. 6". Thou art a priest for ever] As long as the sun and moon endure, Jesus will continue to be high priest to all the successive generations of men, as he was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If he be a priest for ever, there can be no succession of priests; and if he have all power in heaven and in earth, and if he be present wherever two or three are gathered together in his name, he can have no vicars; nor can the Church need one to act in his place, when he, from the necessity of his nature, fills all places, and is everywhere present. This one consideration nullifies all the pretensions of the Romish pontiff, and proves the whole to be a tissue of imposture.
After the order of Melchisedec.] Who this person was must still remain a secret. We know nothing more of him than is written in Gen. xiv. 18, &c., where see the notes, and particularly the observations at the end of that chapter, in which this very mysterious person is represented as a type of Christ.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. As he saith also in another place , etc..] Or psalm; namely, in ( <19B004> Psalm 110:4) that is, the same person, even God the Father; who spake the words before cited, also expressed the following: thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec ; that the psalm, from whence these words are taken, belongs to the Messiah, (see Gill on Matthew 22:44) and this very passage is applied unto him by the Jewish writers f74 ; and had not this been the general sense of the Jewish church at this time, the apostle writing to Hebrews would not have produced it; and it very clearly expresses the priesthood of Christ, the eternity of it, and the order according to which it was; and it being not according to the order of Aaron, but of another, shows the change of the priesthood, and so of the law; of Melchizedek, (see Gill on Hebrews 7:1) Ver. 7. Who in the days of his flesh , etc..] Or of his humanity, as the Arabic version renders it; or when he was clothed with flesh, as the Syriac version; in the time of his humiliation, when he was attended with the sinless infirmities of the flesh, or human nature; it may take in the whole course of his life on earth, especially the latter part of it: it is not to be concluded from hence, that he has not flesh now, or is not in the flesh; for it is certain that he had flesh after his resurrection; only now he is free from all the infirmities of the flesh, the pains, and sorrows, and griefs of it, which he endured when here on earth: when he had offered up prayers and supplications ; as he often did in many parts of his life, particularly in the garden, and upon the cross, when he offered up himself: and as the days of Christ's flesh were filled up with prayers and supplications, so should ours be also: the word for supplications signifies branches of olive trees, covered with wool f75 ; which such as sued for peace carried in their hands, and so came to signify supplications for peace: the manner in which these were offered up by Christ was with strong crying and tears ; with a most vehement outcry, with a loud voice, as when on the cross; and though there is no mention of his tears at that time, or when in the garden, no doubt but he shed them: all that Christ did, and said, are not written; some things were received by tradition, and by inspiration; Christ wept at other times, and why not at these? and there are some circumstances in his prayers which intimate as much, ( Matthew 26:38 27:46 Luke 22:44) which shows the weight of sin, of sorrow, and of punishment, that lay upon him, and the weakness of the human nature, considered in itself: and it may be observed to our comfort, that as Christ's crying and tears were confined to the days of his flesh, or to the time of his life here on earth, so shall ours be also. Mention is made of twqzj twlpt , strong prayers f76 , in Jewish writings. The person to whom Christ offered his prayers is described in the following words, unto him that was able to save him from death ; from a corporeal death, as he could, but that it was otherwise determined; or rather to raise him from the dead, to deliver him from the state of the dead, from the power of death, and the grave, as he did; and so the Syriac version renders it, to quicken him from death; to restore him from death to life: and was heard in that he feared ; or by fear; by God, who was the object of his fear, and who is called the fear of Isaac, ( Genesis 31:42) he was always heard by him, and so he was in the garden, and on the cross; and was carried through his sufferings, and was delivered from the fear of death, and was saved from the dominion and power of it, being raised from the dead by his Father: or he was heard because of his fear, or reverence; either because of the dignity and reverence of his person, in which he was had by God; or because of his reverence of his Father.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - The High Priest must be a man, a partaker of our nature. This show that man had sinned. For God would not suffer sinful man to come to his alone. But every one is welcome to God, that comes to him by this Hig Priest; and as we value acceptance with God, and pardon, we must appl by faith to this our great High Priest Christ Jesus, who can interced for those that are out of the way of truth, duty, and happiness; on who has tenderness to lead them back from the by-paths of error, sin and misery. Those only can expect assistance from God, and acceptanc with him, and his presence and blessing on them and their services that are called of God. This is applied to Christ. In the days of his flesh, Christ made himself subject to death: he hungered: he was tempted, suffering, dying Jesus. Christ set an example, not only to pray, but to be fervent in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wette with tears, do we offer up to God! He was strengthened to support the immense weight of suffering laid upon him. There is no real deliveranc from death but to be carried through it. He was raised and exalted, an to him was given the power of saving all sinners to the uttermost, wh come unto God through him. Christ has left us an example that we shoul learn humble obedience to the will of God, by all our afflictions. We need affliction, to teach us submission. His obedience in our natur encourages our attempts to obey, and for us to expect support an comfort under all the temptations and sufferings to which we ar exposed. Being made perfect for this great work, he is become the Author of eternal salvation to all that obey him. But are we of tha number?

6. Thou art a priest forever, etc. According to this verse Christ is prophetically pointed out in Psalm 110 as an eternal priest, independent of fleshly descent, a king, and superior in dignity to the Levitical priests. According to the order (kata thn taxin). According to the rank which Melchisedec held. Almost = like. For Melchisedec see ch. 7.
