AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 7:26 ¶ It was fitting for us to have such a High Priest [perfectly adapted to our needs], holy, blameless, unstained [by sin], separated from sinners and exalted higher than the heavens; |
Bible Question:
I believe that we have such a High Priest unlike the high priest(s) of verse 27 who first have to offer sacrifices for their own sins daily for He is a Son, made perfect forever. I have found agreement among friends that Jesus was fully human and fully God. I have capitalized son, I have capitalized high priest as other versions of scripture have, I have capitalized God because He is not a god. My question is this: How important is it for us to think of Jesus as the Son of Man instead of a son of man? How important is it for translators to capital man when speaking of Jesus? |
Bible Answer: Ray I looked at many other translations and none except NKJV has this capitalized. It was a mystery to me, until it dawned on me they are talking about the position rather than who filled the position. In other words they referring to the position of high priest rather than to Jesus being our High Priest. Even knowing Jesus is in the position of the high priest I think any time we are referring to just the position it should remain uncapitialized. |
