Jesus Christ the same Rather, "is the same" (comp. Hebrews 1:12). The collocation "Jesus Christ" is in this Epistle only found elsewhere in Hebrews 13:21 and Hebrews 10:10. He commonly says "Jesus" in the true reading (Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 3:1; Hebrews 6:20, &c.) or "Christ" (Hebrews 3:6; Hebrews 3:14; Hebrews 5:5, &c.). He also has "the Lord" (Hebrews 2:3), "our Lord" (Hebrews 7:14), and "our Lord Jesus" (Hebrews 13:20). "Christ Jesus," which is so common in St Paul, only occurs as a very dubious various reading in Hebrews 3:1.

yesterday, and to day, and for ever See Hebrews 7:24. The order of the Greek is "yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages." See Hebrews 1:12; Malachi 3:6; James 1:17. The unchangeableness of Christ is a reason for not being swept about by winds of strange teaching.
