Verse 16. For verily he took not on him the nature of Angels: but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
This verse is here inserted as a fit transition betwixt the Princely and Priestly Office of Christ. It hath reference to them both as an especial reason of the one and of the other. In reference to the former it showeth a reason of the two forementioned acts of Christs Kingly Office. Why he destroyed the devil, and why he delivered man that was in bondage: even because he took not on him the nature of Angels: but the seed of Abraham. The first particle FOR intendeth as1 much: In reference to the later which is Christs Priestly Function, this verse layeth down the ground of all the particulars following, ver. 17, 18. He was made like to his brethren: he was a merciful and faithful High priest, &c. Even because he took on him the seed of Abraham.
