Contextual Overview

1 Every trail guide who's ever been was a man chosen to lead the cowboys to God. A trail guide offers God all his sacrifices as gifts for his mistakes. 2But a trail guide needs to be understanding of the hardships of the trail because he followed the same one. 3The trail guides before had to offer their own sacrifices for the mistakes they made as well. 4No one can be a trail guide because he wants the notoriety. He must be called by God just like Aaron was. 5Jesus didn't even ask to be the trail guide. He was chosen by God himself when he said, "You are my boy. Today, I have become your Dad." 6Another time God said, "You are the last trail guide. You'll finish what Melchizedek started." 7While Jesus still rode on this earth, he offered up tears and groans to the only one who could rescue him from the outlaw called death. And because of his faithfulness, God listened. 8But just because he was God's Son, Jesus still learned what it meant to obey God. He didn't learn obedience through anything more than the hard trail he rode. 9Because of this, God made him the last trail guide. The trail Jesus forged became the way to heaven for all those who ride with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And by reason hereof,.... Because of his sinful infirmity:

he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins; as he offered sacrifice for the sins of the people, so he was obliged to offer for his own sins; in this Christ differed from the high priest, for he had no sin of his own to offer for, Hebrews 7:27 but he had, and therefore offered for them, Leviticus 16:11 and made a confession of them: the form of which, as used on the day of atonement, was this;

"he put both his hands upon the bullock, and confessed, and thus he said: I beseech thee, O Lord, I have done wickedly, I have transgressed, I have sinned before thee, I and my house; I beseech thee, O Lord, pardon the iniquities, transgressions, and sins, which I have done wickedly, transgressed, and sinned before thee, I and my house.''

And this he did a second time on that day z.

z Misna Yoma, c. 3. sect. 8. & c. 4. sect. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And by reason hereof - Because he is a sinner; an imperfect man. “As for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.” To make an expiation for sins. He needs the same atonement; he offers the sacrifice for himself which he does for others; Leviticus 9:7. The same thing is true of the ministers of religion now. They come before God feeling that they have need of the benefit of the same atonement which they preach to others; they plead the merits of the same blood for their own salvation which they show to be indispensable for the salvation of others.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Hebrews 5:3. And by reason hereof — As he is also a transgressor of the commands of God, and unable to observe the law in its spirituality, he must offer sacrifices for sin, not only for the people, but for himself also: this must teach him to have a fellow feeling for others.
