Hebrews 2:13 NIV

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 2:13

These words are taken not from Isaiah 8:17 where, in the Septuagint version, is a like phrase; for they are not the words of the Messiah there, but of the prophet; and besides, the apostle disjoins them from the following words, which stand there, by saying, "and again"; but they are cited from Psalm 18:2 in which psalm are many things which have respect to the Messiah, and his times; the person spoken of is said to be made the head of the Heathen, to whom unknown people yield a voluntary... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:13

I will put my trust in him - It is not clear to what express place of Scripture the apostle refers: words to this effect frequently occur; but the place most probably is Psalm 18:2 , several parts of which psalm seem to belong to the Messiah. Behold I and the children which God hath given me - This is taken from Isaiah 8:18 . The apostle does not intend to say that the portions which he has quoted have any particular reference, taken by themselves, to the subject in question; they... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:13

Verse 13 13.I will put my trust in him, or, I will confide in him. As this sentence is found in Psalms 18:2, it was probably taken from that place; (44) and Paul, in Romans 15:9, applies another verse to Christ respecting the calling of the Gentiles. In addition to this, it may be said that the general contents of that Psalm show clearly that David spoke in the person of another. There indeed appeared in David but a faint shadow of the greatness which is there set forth in terms so magnificent.... 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 2:11-16

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

Jesus our Brother. Here the writer expands the statement of Hebrews 2:10 , and confirms it by suitable arguments. This closing paragraph of the first section of the Epistle emphasizes the fact that Jesus, the Son of God and the King of angels ( Hebrews 1:1-14 ), is also as Mediator our brother Man. I. THE BROTHERHOOD OF CHRIST . First, stated abstractly ( Hebrews 2:11 ). Next, illustrated from Old Testament Scripture ( Hebrews 2:12 , Hebrews 2:13 ), the Messianic... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:13

And again, I will put my trust in him . There are two passages of the Old Testament from which this may be a citation 2 Samuel 22:3 and Isaiah 8:17 . In either case the original is slightly altered in the citation, probably with a purpose; the emphatic ἐγὼ being prefixed, and ἔσομαι being (suitably after this addition) placed before instead of after πεποιθὼς . The purpose of this change may be to bring into prominence the thought that the Messiah himself, in his humanity, puts... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:13

And again - That is, it is said in another place, or language is used of the Messiah in another place, indicating the confidence which he put in God, and showing that he partook of the feelings of the children of God, and regarded himself as one of them.I will put my trust in him - I will confide in God; implying:(1) A sense of dependence on God; and,(2) Confidence in him. It is with reference to the former idea that the apostle seems to use it here - as denoting a condition where there was... read more
