Hebrews 2:6What is man?What is man?To answer this question with anything like completeness it would be necessary to discourse upon it in much detail. Reference would have to be made to various sciences--psychology, physiology, anthropology, sociology; and even then the answer would be inadequate, for all the scientists together are unable to take the full measure of man.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 2:4

4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Ver. 4. And with divers miracles ] Whereby, as by the wings of the wind, the doctrine of the gospel was divulged at first. But he that now requireth a miracle, is himself a miracle.

But one in a certain place ] The full sense is, but he hath subjected it to Christ, as David testified,Psalms 8:4-5; Psalms 8:4-5 ; where whatsoever is spoken to man is here applied to the man Christ Jesus; and so is proper to the saints by virtue of their union with Christ. In which respect they are more glorious than heaven, angels, or any creature. ... read more
