NASB | Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect [uniquely equipped and prepared as Savior and retaining His integrity amid opposition], He became the source of eternal salvation [an eternal inheritance] to all those who obey Him, [Is 45:17] |
Bible Question: This verse is a bit puzzling for me. the author of Hebrews is obviously talking about Jesus who is our source of eternal salvation. however, does the phrase "having been made perfect" imply that Jesus wasn't perfect at one point? i have full confidence and belief that Jesus is 100 percent God and fully perfect, but the wording of this particular verse just threw me off a little. |
Bible Answer: Per Vincent's Word Studies And being made perfect Comp. Heb_2:10. The fundamental idea is the bringing of a person or thing to the goal fixed by God. Comp. Heb_7:11, Heb_7:19; Heb_9:9; Heb_10:1, Heb_10:14; Heb_11:40; Heb_12:23. Here of Christ's having reached the end which was contemplated in his divinely-appointed discipline for the priesthood. The consummation was attained in his death, Phi_2:8; his obedience extended even unto death. Perfect, as we know it is not nessisarily the biblical meaning in it's whole. George |
