Jesus our Brother. Here the writer expands the statement of Hebrews 2:10 , and confirms it by suitable arguments.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth - This refers, evidently, to the Lord Jesus. The object is to show that there was such a union between him and those for whom he died, as to make it necessary that he should partake of the same nature, or that he should be a suffering man; Hebrews 2:14. He undertook to redeem and sanctify them. He called them brethren. He identified them with himself. There was, in the great work of redemption, a oneness between him and them, and hence, it was necessary that he... 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

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.This is a further explanation of the fitness of Christ's death for people. Since the Son has taken upon him the form of human beings, and in that sense is one with them, he is not ashamed to call them brethren, even to the extent of partaking of all their sorrows and sufferings, even death itself. The sanctification spoken of here is on a higher level than is usually... 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 2:11

11. he that sanctifieth—Christ who once for all consecrates His people to God ( :-, bringing them nigh to Him as the consequence) and everlasting glory, by having consecrated Himself for them in His being made "perfect (as their expiatory sacrifice) through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 10:10; Hebrews 10:14; Hebrews 10:29; John 17:17; John 17:19). God in His electing love, by Christ's finished work, perfectly sanctifies them to God's service and to heaven once for all: then they are... 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
