Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:12

Saying - This passage is found in Psalms 22:22. The whole of that Psalm has been commonly referred to the Messiah; and in regard to such a reference there is less difficulty than attends most of the other portions of the Old Testament that are usually supposed to relate to him. The following verses of the Psalm are applied to him, or to transactions connected with him, in the New Testament, Hebrews 2:1, Hebrews 2:8,Hebrews 2:18; and the whole Psalm is so strikingly descriptive of his condition... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 2:11-13

Hebrews 2:11-13. For As if he had said, And it appears that it was meet that Christ should suffer, because, having the same nature with us, it was necessary he should thus be made like us, who must suffer before we can reign; both he that sanctifieth That washes men from their sins in his blood, renews them in the spirit of their minds, and consecrates them unto God; and they who are sanctified Who are renewed and dedicated to God; are all of one Of one nature, from one parent, Adam;... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-18

Christ’s humanity and suffering (2:5-18)Jews considered that human beings were inferior to angels. They therefore wondered how Jesus Christ could be superior to angels when in fact he was a man.The writer points out that this human status of inferiority to angels is only temporary. God’s original purpose was that human beings should rule over all things, but because of sin they lost this authority and are themselves in need of salvation (5-8). Jesus Christ, in order to save them, took their... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 2:12

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise.As proof of Christ's being unashamed of his brethren, the author here begins a series of three quotations from the Old Testament, this one from Psalms 22, which opens with the words, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" and which from New Testament times has been universally hailed as Messianic and as a detailed prophetic account of the crucifixion. The author of Psalms 22 is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 2:10-15

Hebrews 2:10-15. For it became him, &c.— Very different are the explanations given of this passage; that which appears to me the plainest and most just, is as follows: Hebrews 2:10. "Such has been the conduct of God in the great affair of our redemption; and the beauty and harmony of it will be apparent in proportion to the degree in which it is examined. For, though the Jews dream of a temporal Messiah, as a scheme conducive to the divine glory, it well became him,—it was expedient that,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:12

12. ( :-.) Messiah declares the name of the Father, not known fully as Christ's Father, and therefore their Father, till after His crucifixion (John 20:17), among His brethren ("the Church," that is, the congregation), that they in turn may praise Him (John 20:17- :). At Psalms 22:22, which begins with Christ's cry, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" and details minutely His sorrows, passes from Christ's sufferings to His triumph, prefigured by the same in the experience of David.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:10-18

E. The Son’s Solidarity with Humanity 2:10-18The writer next emphasized the future glory that the Son will experience to heighten his readers’ appreciation for Him and for their own future with Him. He did this by reflecting on Psalms 8. He wanted his readers to appreciate these things so they would continue to live by faith rather than departing from God’s will (cf. James 1; 1 Peter 1). This section concludes the first major part of the writer’s address and prepares his audience for the next... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:12-13

These quotations illustrate that Jesus will not blush to identify with the people of God. The emphasis in the first quotation is on the character that Jesus Christ and believers share. His death has made us holy (set us apart; cf. Hebrews 10:10; Hebrews 10:14). Consequently we can have intimate fellowship with Jesus who dwells among us (by His Spirit; cf. Exodus 25:8; Exodus 29:46).The point of the second quotation is that Jesus, as well as His followers, trusted God. This is the basis for... read more
