This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Wherefore (hothen). Since he alone holds this priesthood.
To the uttermost (eis to panteles). Old idiom, in N.T. only here and Luk 13:10. Vulgate renders it in perpetuum (temporal idea) or like pantote. This is possible, but the common meaning is completely, utterly.
Draw near (proserchomenous). Present middle participle of proserchomai, the verb used in Heb 4:16 which see.
To make intercession (eis to entugchanein). Purpose clause with eis and the articular present active infinitive of entugchanō for which verb see Rom 8:34. “His intercession has red blood in it, unlike Philo’s conception” (Moffatt).
