Excerpt from Commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews, Vol. 2
Chap. vii. 26-IX. 12. Such an high priest (after the order of Melcliizedek) it was meet that we should have; One, namely, who, having offered up Himself in sinless purity once for all, is royally enthroned at God's right hand, and who, being raised as Mediator of the new covenant infinitely above the Aaronic priesthood and their ministries in the earthly tabernacle, is working now for us in the archetypal sanctuary, into which He has once entered with His own blood, accomplishing thereby an eternal redemption.
With one glance backwards [in toiovtos yap] at the Melchizedekean nature of our Lord's priesthood expounded in the former section (vii. 1-25), and more especially at what was there said (in ver. 25) of Him as "ever-living," and so able perfectly to save and perpetually to mediate for us, the sacred writer thus continues:
Ver. 26. For such an high priest was also meet for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.
