[Hebrews 2](/study/hebrews/2) [Hebrews 4](/study/hebrews/4) ## Commentary To verse 1 ***[Hebrews 3:1](/kjv/hebrews/3/1)*****.*****Wherefore, holy brethren,*****&c.—** *Holy brethren*may refer to what he said of those who were *sanctified*in Christ, ch. [Hebrews 2:11](/kjv/hebrews/2/11). *Partakers of the heavenly calling*signifies,"Partakersof the call given us in the gospel to pursue immortality and glory." See [Hebrews 3:14](/kjv/hebrews/3/14). The word *apostle*is, by way of eminence, put for "one *sent*of God;" and our Saviour has frequently, in St. John's Gospel, spoken of himself as *sent*by the Father. St. Paul therefore exhorts the Hebrews to *consider Christ,*who was infinitely higher than the angels;—who was, for our sakes, made in the flesh lower than they for a short time, but has obtained a more excellent name than they: who was *sent*by God the Father into the world, and so sent, as to *taste death.*"Consider him in these capacities, and add to them, that he was our High-priest, and entered into the holy of holies for us, removing all obstacles to the eternal happiness of his faithful people, and then judge if he be not superior to Moses. *Moses*was sent into Egypt, to redeem the children of Israel; *Jesus*was sent from heaven to redeem mankind: but then he was not only thus the *Apostle,*but he was likewise the *High-Priest of our profession;* and in consequence, not only infinitely superior to Moses, but to Aaron too; as will soon appear." ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3","name":"Hebrews 3 - Study King James Bible with cokes commentary on the holy bible","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Hebrews 3 with cokes commentary on the holy bible commentary. 1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who was faithful to","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible","name":"cokes commentary on the holy bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews","name":"Hebrews"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/hebrews/3","name":"3"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
