1 v. 1, 3; viii. 3 a, 4; ix. vii; x. 1, 2, 8, never of Christ's offering.

2 viii. 3 b; ix. 14, 28; x. 12, never of the Aaronic priesthood.

3 When the writer says ‘undefiled’ (άΜíαντος) has he this in mind (vii. 26)?

1 It is astounding to find so great a theologian as C. Spicq in his commentary on Hebrews saying of this verse ‘la glose exégètique’, the explanatory gloss. The verse is the climax of the argument.

2 It is significant that in the picture in the Apocalypse of the Ascended Christ among the candlesticks the attitude is not mentioned. In Acts vii. 56 at Stephen's death he is portrayed as standing. But for this see the commentaries in loco.

1 It is doubtful if the meaning of ήντυγχάνειν is at all that of ‘pleading’, see E. R. Bernard's article ‘Prayer’ in H.D.B., where he points out the meaning is ‘to approach on behalf of’.

2 Notice the phrase repeated in Heb., xiii. 20.Google Scholar
