John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:1-18

Jesus Exalted in Humiliation1-4. The former dispensation, even though mediated by comparatively inferior beings such as the angels, was yet so sacred that all neglect of it was severely punished. This being so, a far more terrible fate must now be theirs who neglect the revelation brought by the Son of God Himself, delivered to us by eye-witnesses, and authenticated by miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost.1. Let them slip] RV ’drift away from them,’ as a ship from its moorings. This was what... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 2:5

(5) For.—There is a very clear connection between this verse and Hebrews 1:14. “Angels are but ministering spirits, serving God in the cause of those who shall inherit salvation; for not to angels is the world to come made subject.” But the connection with Hebrews 2:2-3, is equally important: “the salvation that is now given has been proclaimed not by angels but by the Lord, and it is God Himself who works with the messengers of the Lord; for not unto angels,” &c. The word “salvation” binds... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 2:5-18

(5-18) It was needful that Jesus, as Author of salvation to man, should in all points be made like to those whom He saves, and in their likeness suffer and die; thus He becomes for them a merciful and faithful High Priest. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Hebrews 2:1-18

Hebrews 2:1 There is nothing I so hardly beleeve to be in man as constancie, and nothing so easie to be found in him, as inconstancy.... Our ordinary manner is to follow the inclination of our appetite this way and that way, on the left or on the right hand; upward and downe-ward, according as the winde of occasions doth transport us; we never thinke on what we would have, but at the instant we would have it: and change as that beast that takes the colour of the place wherein it is laid. What... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-18

CHAPTER IITHE SON AND THE ANGELSHebrews 1:4 - Hebrews 2:18The most dangerous and persistent error against which the theologians of the New Testament had to contend was the doctrine of emanations. The persistence of this error lay in its affinity with the Christian conception of mediation between God and men; its danger sprang from its complete inconsistency with the Christian idea of the person and work of the Mediator. For the Hebrew conception of God, as the "I AM," tended more and more in... read more

II. CHRIST, SON OF MAN, His GLORY AND His SALVATION CHAPTER 2:5-18 1. The Man crowned with glory and honor (Hebrews 2:5-9 ) 2. His humiliation, suffering and the results (Hebrews 2:10-18 ) Hebrews 2:5-9 Angels are once more mentioned and the fact is stated first of all that angels are not called of God to reign: “Unto the angels hath He not put in subjection, the world to come whereof we speak.” “The world to come” is not heaven or the eternal state. The literal translation is “the... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 2:5

2:5 {3} For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the {f} world to come, whereof we speak.(3) If it was an atrocious matter to condemn the angels who are but servants, it is much more atrocious to condemn that most mighty King of the restored world.(f) The world to come, of which Christ is Father, Isaiah 9:6 or the Church, which as a new world, was to be gathered together by the gospel. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:1-18

The first four verses of this chapter now press upon us the appropriate conclusions that must be drawn from so transcendent a revelation of the glory of God. "For this reason we should give heed more abundantly to the things we have heard, lest in any way we should slip away" (N. Trans.). The truth has been given by report, and absolutely authenticated by God's authority. How worthy of the complete concentration of our minds and hearts! Is it possible the intelligence can become so deadened... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-18

CHRIST AND THE ANGELS While in these chapters, the comparison is chiefly between Christ and the angels, yet they open with an important contrast between him and the prophets (1:1-3), in which His superiority is seen in seven particulars: 1. He is God’s Son. 2. He is Heir of all things. 3. He made the worlds. 4. He is the Express Image of God. 5. He Himself purged our sins. 6. He upholds all things. 7. He is seated at the right hand of God. The “express image” of God is equivalent to “God.”... read more
