Hebrews 2:10

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:10

The Father bringing the sons to glory. Observe— I. THE TERMS IN WHICH THE FATHER IS HERE DESCRIBED . Fatherhood is, of course, implied when sonship is spoken of; and this Father is the Being "for whom are all things, and by whom are all things." Here is the great unity towards which, consciously or unconsciously, all things are tending. Here is the cause of all existence, compared with whom all other causes that men analyze and apportion are but as the merest... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:10-13

His exaltation endears his association with his followers. There is a Divine becomingness and suitability in the process of salvation, which suggests that as the Leader of believing souls should pass through sorrow and gain his official perfectness through sufferings which show at what a cost redemption was procured, they qualify him to become an Example to which Christians are to be conformed. He reached his glory through distress and agony, and his followers are through much tribulation... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:10

For it became him - There was a fitness or propriety in it; it was such an arrangement as became God to make, in redeeming many, that the great agent by whom it was accomplished, should be made complete in all respects by sufferings. The apostle evidently means by this to meet an objection that might be offered by a Jew to the doctrine which he had been stating - an objection drawn from the fact that Jesus was a man of sorrows, and that his life was a life of affliction. This he meets by... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 2:10

Hebrews 2:10. In this verse the apostle expresses, in his own words, what he before expressed in those of the psalmist. For it became him It was suitable to all his attributes, especially to his justice and mercy, his holiness and goodness, his wisdom and truth; for whom As their ultimate end; and by whom As their first cause; are all things; in bringing many sons unto glory Namely, believers, called God’s sons, John 1:12; Romans 8:14; and frequently elsewhere. The clause seems to be... 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 2:10

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.On this place, Westcott noted thatThe difficulties which at first sight beset the conception of a suffering Messiah vanish upon closer thought. For when we consider what is the relationship between the Son of man and men - the Son and the sons - what man's condition is and how he can be redeemed only through divine... 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 2:10

10. For—giving a reason why "the grace of God" required that Jesus "should taste death." it became him—The whole plan was (not only not derogatory to, but) highly becoming God, though unbelief considers it a disgrace [BENGEL]. An answer to the Jews, and Hebrew Christians, whosoever, through impatience at the delay in the promised advent of Christ's glory, were in danger of apostasy, stumbling at Christ crucified. The Jerusalem Christians especially were liable to this danger. This scheme of... read more

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

The writer proceeded to give a commentary on the last clause of Hebrews 2:9, particularly on the phrase "by the grace of God."The Son of Man is not the only One God intends to glorify (Hebrews 2:6). All of His sons, believers, will experience glorification. "Him" is God the Father. "Author" is Jesus Christ, the Son of Man. The unusual title "author" (Gr. archegos) describes Jesus as a file leader, pioneer, pathfinder, and captain of a company of followers (cf. Hebrews 12:2; Acts 3:15; Acts... read more
