Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) But this man.--Better, But He, because He remaineth for ever, hath His priesthood inviolable (or, unchangeable). The former ordinance related to a race, and the individuals were ever passing away; since His life is "indissoluble" (Hebrews 7:16), none can trespass on His right and invade His priesthood. The rendering of the margin, "that passeth not from one to another," expresses nearly the same thought; but it is very doubtful whether the Greek will bear this meaning.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekButδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.becauseδιὰ (dia)PrepositionStrong's 1223: A primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through.[Jesus]αὐτὸν (auton)Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Accusative Masculine 3rd Person SingularStrong's 846: He, she, it, they, them, same.
