Hebrews 2:18 NLT,NIV,ESV

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 2:1-99

Hebrews 2 SEEING THAT GOD has addressed Himself to us in Christ, who is far superior, not only to Moses but also to those angels through whose hands Moses received the law, we ought to give more abundant heed to all that has been said. With this the second chapter opens, and it is impossible to evade the solemn force of it. God’s word spoken by angels was by no means to be trifled with, as Israel discovered before they had gone very far on their wilderness journey; what then shall be said as... read more

The Deliverance Effected by Christ. Hebrews 2:14-Job : v. 14. Forasmuch, then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same, that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, v. 15. and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. v. 16. For, verily, He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. v. 17. Wherefore in all... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 2:10-18

“Made Like unto His Brethren” Hebrews 2:10-18 Captain reminds us of Acts 3:15 . It means file-leader . The Church follows its Leader, Jesus Christ, in single file through this world, the cross and the grave, to the glory. But notice that God Himself is engaged in bringing us through; and He cannot lose one. See John 10:29 . But He is not only our Captain, He is our Brother. We also are born of God. He is sanctifying us and we are being sanctified for a marvelous future, John 17:19 . How... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:1-18

Here we have the first of a series of warnings uttered in connection with the arguments. If the ministrations of angels had been of so steadfast a character, how much more the speech of the Son. The danger against which this section utters its warning is drifting away from this final speech. The inevitable answer to the question, "How shall we escape?" is that seeing that the Son has made the way of deliverance for those who have broken the law administered by angels, there is no hope of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:18

THE HELP OF CHRIST‘Able to succour.’ Hebrews 2:18 We are always more or less in need of help, but this passage suggests that there are special times in our lives when that need is felt more than others. I. Times of trial are very varied in human life.( a) Sometimes they are seasons of temporal trouble and distress.( b) There are times of spiritual darkness and perplexity.( c) There are times of physical weakness when health seems gone, and help is sorely needed. II. What is the manner of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:18

‘For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to succour those who are tempted.’ The reason that He can adequately fulfil this role is because as a human being He knows and has experienced the powers of temptation to human flesh, and the awfulness of being tested by intense persecution and the many troubles of life. He has suffered, being tempted and tested. Every day he felt the disturbances to the spirit caused by living in a sinful world, he knew its disappointments and... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:1-18

Hebrews 1:5 to Hebrews 2:18 . The Son is Superior to the Angels.— For this theme the way has been prepared in the closing words of Hebrews 1:14. The section may possibly be directed against angel-worship, which in some churches, as we know from Colossians, was encroaching on the faith in Christ. More probably the writer’ s aim is simply to enforce the supremacy of Christ as compared with even the highest of created beings. In Hebrews 1:5-2 Chronicles : he collects a number of Scripture texts... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:5-18

Hebrews 2:5-Job : . Resuming his argument, the writer deals with the objection that Christ cannot be ranked above the angels in view of His earthly humiliation. This objection is answered by conclusions drawn from Psalms 8:4-Joshua : *. Christ was indeed made lower than the angels, but for the purpose that He should rise to the sovereign place. Only by His suffering and death could He be fitted for His supreme work as High Priest and Saviour. The angels had no authority over that higher... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 2:18

For in that he himself hath suffered: the reason foregoing the Spirit illustrates in this verse; he is such a merciful and faithful High Priest, by being a sufferer himself, which he could not have been feelingly, but by his being incarnate. So many, great, and afflictive sufferings never any endured but himself; he felt what sin deserved, and would fasten on sinners without his interposing; though he were sinless, what terrors from God within, what pains in his body without, did he suffer and... read more
