    • 10:7

      Then I said: “Look! I have come . . . to do your will, O God”: Again Paul attributes words from Ps 40 to Jesus, this time drawing from verses 7 and 8, to highlight the willingness and determination that the Messiah expressed at his baptism. (See study note on Heb 10:5.) At that time, Jesus presented himself to carry out God’s will, and later he offered himself up as the “one sacrifice” that would do away with sin.​—Heb 10:12; see study note on Heb 10:10.

      (in the scroll it is written about me): This statement is part of Paul’s quotation from Ps 40:7. The writer of this psalm was David​—a king. The scroll of the Mosaic Law included special instructions for kings. (See, for example, De 17:14-20.) However, when Paul under inspiration attributes these words to Jesus, what was written in “the scroll” would refer to all that was foretold about the Messianic King throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.​—Ps 2:6; 45:1; Lu 24:44; compare 2Co 1:20 and study notes.
