the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest: Jesus was glorified by his Father, Jehovah, who called him to be High Priest. That happened in 29 C.E. when Jesus was baptized. He humbly presented himself to do his Father’s will, which included offering his life as a sacrifice and serving as Jehovah’s High Priest forever. (Heb 5:6; 10:8, 9) Jehovah then expressed his love for and approval of his Son and anointed him with holy spirit; God thus glorified the Christ. (See study note on Mr 1:11.) This glory that came directly from Jesus’ Father, Jehovah God, was far greater than any glory that other high priests sought for themselves or claimed because they descended from Aaron.—Compare Joh 8:54.
“You are my son; today I have become your father”: Paul quotes Ps 2:7 a second time in this letter. (See study note on Heb 1:5.) These words were fulfilled at Jesus’ baptism. (See study note on Mt 3:17.) Jehovah also proved to be Jesus’ everlasting Father in a special sense when he resurrected his Son to immortal heavenly life.—Ac 13:33, 34; see study note on Ro 1:4.
