20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,



Ver. 20. Now the God of peace] He that would reap prayers must sow them. What could the Hebrews do less than pray for him that prayed so heartily for them?



Our Lord Jesus] Here is his kingly office. God hath made him both Lord and Christ, Act_2:36.



That great Shepherd] That feedeth his people daily and daintily with divine doctrine. Here is his prophetical office.



Through the blood] Here is his priestly office. And here we must begin, if we will reckon them right.
