Hebrews 2:11,Hebrews 2:12

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 2:10-13

Having mentioned the death of Christ, the apostle here proceeds to prevent and remove the scandal of the cross; and this he does by showing both how it became God that Christ should suffer and how much man should be benefited by those sufferings. I. How it became God that Christ should suffer: For it became him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings, Heb. 2:10. Here, 1. God is... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 2:10-18

2:10-18 For, in his work of bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that he for whom everything exists and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of salvation fully adequate for his destined work through suffering. For he who sanctifies and they who are sanctified must come of one stock. It is for this reason that he does not hesitate to call them brothers, as when he says: "I will tell your name to my brothers; I will sing hymns to you in the midst of the gathering of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth ,.... Not himself, though this is said of him, John 17:19 nor his Father, though this also is true of him, Isaiah 8:13 but his people, the sons brought to glory, whose salvation he is the Captain of; they are sanctified in him, he being made sanctification to them; and they have their sanctification from him, all their grace and holiness; and they are sanctified by him, both by his blood, which expiates their sins, and removes the guilt of them, and by his... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth - The word ὁ ἁγιαζων does not merely signify one who sanctifies or makes holy, hut one who makes atonement or reconciliation to God; and answers to the Hebrew כפר caphar , to expiate. See Exodus 29:33-36 . He that sanctifies is he that makes atonement; and they who are sanctified are they who receive that atonement, and, being reconciled unto God, become his children by adoption, through grace. In this sense our Lord uses the word, John 17:19 ; :... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:11

Verse 11 11.For both he that sanctifieth, etc. He proves that it was necessary that what he had said should be fulfilled in the person of Christ on account of his connection with his members; and he also teaches that it was a remarkable evidence of the divine goodness that he put on our flesh. hence he says, that they are all of one, that is, that the author of holiness and we are made partakers of it, are all of one nature, as I understated the expression. It is commonly understood of one... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth ( i.e. Christ, the ἀρχηγὸς ) and they that are sanctified ( i.e. the "many sons" who are brought unto glory) are all of one ( ἐξ ἑνὸς , i.e. of God). The idea expressed here by the verb ἁγιάζω , to sanctify, may be determined by comparison with Hebrews 9:13 , Hebrews 9:14 ; Hebrews 10:14 , Hebrews 10:29 ; and Hebrews 13:12 ( ἵνα ἁγιάση διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἱμάτος τὸν λαόν ); cf. John 17:9 . It is not the idea, to us... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:11

Christ and his brethren. In the eleventh verse there is brought in a new idea. The Author of salvation is now described in relation to his followers as the Sanctifier, and these followers as the sanctified. Jesus it is who sets us apart for God, and sets us apart by making a real difference between us and those who do not believe in him. In other words, if there is no real difference between us and the unbeliever, then we cannot reckon ourselves among the sanctified. Sanctification... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:11-12

The oneness of the Sanctifier and the sanctified. "For both he that sanctifieth and they who are," etc. I. THE ONENESS OF OUR LORD WITH MAN . "Both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one." 1. Our Lord is of one nature with man. This is what many take to be the meaning of the writer in this place. The Savior was truly human. As a man, he hungered and thirsted, ate and drank, was wearied and slept, sorrowed and wept, suffered and died. His... read more

The Incarnation a necessity of the redeeming work of Christ. A third argument to justify the Incarnation. The writer has already shown, first, that the Incarnation was not degrading; and second, that it was actually becoming; he here goes on to say that it was necessary. Subject—The Incarnation a necessity of the redeeming work of Christ. I. OUR LORD ON EARTH WAS A MAN AMONGST MEN . ( Hebrews 2:11 ) "Partook of the same" ( Hebrews 2:14 ). As usual, the writer... read more
