ヘブル人への手紙 2:1-14 JC

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:4

God also bearing them witness ,.... The apostles of Christ; God testifying to their mission and commission, and the truth of the doctrine they preached: both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles ; such as taking up serpents without hurt, healing the sick, causing the lame to walk, and raising the dead, and casting out devils, and the like; all which were for the confirmation of the Gospel preached by them: a sign, wonder, or miracle, for these signify the same thing, is a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:5

For unto the angels ,.... Though angels were concerned in the giving of the law, and were frequently employed under the former dispensation, in messages to men, and in making revelations of God's mind and will to them, yet to them hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak : by which is meant, not the future state of eternal glory and happiness in heaven, as opposed to this world, and the present state of things; though there may be much truth in this sense, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:6

But one in a certain place testified ,.... That is, David, for he is the penman of the psalm, out of which the following words are taken; and though his name is not mentioned by the apostle, nor the particular place, or the psalm pointed at, as in Acts 13:33 yet this was not through ignorance of either, nor out of disrespect to the penman; but because the apostle is writing to Jews, who were conversant with the Scriptures, and knew full well who said the words, and where they were: and it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:7

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels ,.... In the Hebrew text it is, "than Elohim", which some render, "than God"; but it is rightly rendered by the apostle, "than angels"; and so the Targum, Jarchi, Aben Ezra, Kimchi, and Ben Melech, interpret it. Christ was made a little lower than the angels, through the assumption of the human nature, which is inferior to angels, especially the corporeal part of it, and in this Kimchi makes the lessening to be; and more especially as that was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:8

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet ,.... Good angels, men and devils, all things in heaven, earth, and sea; see 1 Peter 3:22 for in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him ; there is no one person or thing that is not subject to Christ; the subjection is the most universal, either voluntary or involuntary; whether they will or not, they are, and must be subject; God has left nothing but what he has put under his power: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:9

But we see Jesus ,.... Not with bodily eyes, but with the eyes of the mind, and understanding; that he is Jesus, as the Syriac version reads; and that he is designed in the above words; and that he has all things made subject unto him; and that he was humbled, and now exalted, as follows: who was made a little lower than the angels ; in his state of humiliation; See Gill on Hebrews 2:7 . for the suffering of death : this clause may be considered either as connected with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:10

For it became him, for whom are all things ,.... This is not a periphrasis of Christ, who died, but of God the Father, who delivered him to death; and who is the final cause of all things, in nature, and in grace, all things being made for his pleasure and for his glory; and he is the efficient cause of all things, as follows: and by whom are all things ; all the works of creation, providence, and grace: in bringing many sons to glory ; not to worldly glory, but to the heavenly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth ,.... Not himself, though this is said of him, John 17:19 nor his Father, though this also is true of him, Isaiah 8:13 but his people, the sons brought to glory, whose salvation he is the Captain of; they are sanctified in him, he being made sanctification to them; and they have their sanctification from him, all their grace and holiness; and they are sanctified by him, both by his blood, which expiates their sins, and removes the guilt of them, and by his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:12

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren ,.... These words, with the following clause, are cited from Psalm 22:22 as a proof of what the apostle had before asserted; and that this psalm is to be understood, not of the Jewish nation, or people of Israel, nor of Esther, nor of David, but of the Messiah, appears from the title of it, "Aijeleth, Shahar", which signifies "the morning hind"; from the particular account of Christ's sufferings in it; from his several offices herein pointed... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:13

These words are taken not from Isaiah 8:17 where, in the Septuagint version, is a like phrase; for they are not the words of the Messiah there, but of the prophet; and besides, the apostle disjoins them from the following words, which stand there, by saying, "and again"; but they are cited from Psalm 18:2 in which psalm are many things which have respect to the Messiah, and his times; the person spoken of is said to be made the head of the Heathen, to whom unknown people yield a voluntary... read more
