Contextual Overview

¹⁹ Having therefore, my brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ By a new and living way, which he has made new for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ And having a great high priest over the house of God: ²² Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled and cleansed of evil thought, and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us remain firm in the profession of our faith without wavering: for he who has promised us is faithful. ²⁴ And let us consider one another to arouse love and good works: ²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is customary for some; but exhorting one another: and so much the more when you see that day approaching. ²⁶ For if any man sin willfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, then there is no more sacrifice to be offered for sins, ²⁷ But he is ready for the fearful judgment and the fiery indignation which shall consume the adversaries. ²⁸ He who transgressed the law of Moses, on the word of two or three witnesses; died without mercy:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And [having an] high priest over the house of God. The church of God, over which Christ is as prophet, priest, and King, and as the Son and owner of it; :-;

:-. In the Greek text it is, "a great priest"; so the Messiah is called by the Targum on Zechariah 6:12 כהן רב, "a great priest", as he is; even a great high priest, as in Hebrews 4:14, and greater than Aaron, and any of his sons.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And having an High Priest over the house of God - Over the spiritual house of God; that is, the church; compare the notes on Hebrews 3:1-6. Under the Jewish dispensation there was a great high priest, and the same is true under the Christian dispensation. This the apostle had shown at length in the previous part of the Epistle. The idea here is, that as under the former dispensation it was regarded as a privilege that the people of God might have access to the mercy-seat by means of the high priest; so it is true in a much higher sense that we may now have access to God through our greater and more glorious High Priest.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 21. A high priest over the house of God — The house or family of God is the Christian Church, or all true believers in the Lord Jesus. Over this Church, house, or family, Christ is the High Priest-in their behalf he offers his own blood, and their prayers and praises; and as the high priest had the ordering of all things that appertained to the house and worship of God, so has Christ in the government of his Church. This government he never gave into other hands. As none can govern and preserve the world but God, so none can govern and save the Church but the Lord Jesus: He is over the house; He is its President; he instructs, protects, guides, feeds, defends, and saves the flock. Those who have such a President may well have confidence; for with him is the fountain of life, and he has all power in the heavens and in the earth.
