Hebrews 5:2
_ _ Who can — Greek, “being able”; not pleasing himself (Romans 15:3).
_ _ have compassion — Greek, “estimate mildly,” “feel leniently,” or “moderately towards”; “to make allowance for”; not showing stern rigor save to the obstinate (Hebrews 10:28).
_ _ ignorant — sins not committed in resistance of light and knowledge, but as Paul’s past sin (1 Timothy 1:13). No sacrifice was appointed for willful sin committed with a high hand; for such were to be punished with death; all other sins, namely, ignorances and errors, were confessed and expiated with sacrifices by the high priest.
_ _ out of the way — not deliberately and altogether willfully erring, but deluded through the fraud of Satan and their own carnal frailty and thoughtlessness.
_ _ infirmity — moral weakness which is sinful, and makes men capable of sin, and so requires to be expiated by sacrifices. This kind of “infirmity” Christ had not; He had the “infirmity” of body whereby He was capable of suffering and death. |
Hebrews 5:2
Who can have compassion — In proportion to the offence: so the Greek word signifies. On the ignorant — Them that are in error. And the wandering — Them that are in sin. Seeing himself also is compassed with infirmity — Even with sinful infirmity; and so needs the compassion which he shows to others. |

(d) On them that are sinful: for in the Hebrew tongue, under ignorance and error is every sin meant, even that sin that is voluntary.
(e) He carries with him a nature subject to the same inconveniences and vices. |
- Who:
