Hebrews 2:3-12

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.This is a further explanation of the fitness of Christ's death for people. Since the Son has taken upon him the form of human beings, and in that sense is one with them, he is not ashamed to call them brethren, even to the extent of partaking of all their sorrows and sufferings, even death itself. The sanctification spoken of here is on a higher level than is usually... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 2:12

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise.As proof of Christ's being unashamed of his brethren, the author here begins a series of three quotations from the Old Testament, this one from Psalms 22, which opens with the words, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" and which from New Testament times has been universally hailed as Messianic and as a detailed prophetic account of the crucifixion. The author of Psalms 22 is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 2:3

Hebrews 2:3. How shall we escape, &c.!— The Jews had no reason to imagine that God would remit the punishments threatened in the law, if they resolved to adhere to it, and would not embrace the condition of faith in Christ which was offered to them: for the law had never been repealed, but continued in its original force; nor would disuse make it of no force, if the Lawmaker would put it into execution. By salvation here is understood, the doctrine of salvation;—the gospel, which of course... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 2:5

Hebrews 2:5. For unto the angels— "Angels, as I told you, are only ministering spirits; and though the law was given by them, yet in the present dispensation they have nothing to do in dispensing the gospel: for it is the Son of God, the Lord of all things, to whom is reserved the sole dominion over, and direction of the present dispensation; and who is the giver of that salvation of which we speak, and not angels, to whom we are not subjected." read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 2:6-9

Hebrews 2:6-9. But one in a certain place, &c.— "Nor think it strange, that a man should be invested with such extraordinary power; for as the Psalmist says of manin general, that he is Lord of all the creation; that, low and mean, and helpless in ten thousand instances, as he seems to be, yet all things are in general subject to him: this, I say, is now literally and eminently true in the case of Jesus Christ, the God-man. What is man, says the Psalmist, that thou art mindful of him; or... 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

3. we—who have received the message of salvation so clearly delivered to us (compare :-). so great salvation—embodied in Jesus, whose very name means "salvation," including not only deliverance from foes and from death, and the grant of temporal blessings (which the law promised to the obedient), but also grace of the Spirit, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of heaven, glory, and eternal life (Hebrews 2:10). which—"inasmuch as it is a salvation which began," c. spoken by the Lord—as the... read more

"Signs" and miracles, or other facts regarded as proofs of a divine mission "wonders" are miracles viewed as prodigies, causing astonishment (Acts 2:22; Acts 2:33); "powers" are miracles viewed as evidences of superhuman power. divers miracles—Greek, "varied (miraculous) powers" (Acts 2:33- :) granted to the apostles after... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:5

5. For—confirming the assertion, Hebrews 2:2; Hebrews 2:3, that the new covenant was spoken by One higher than the mediators of the old covenant, namely, angels. Translate in the Greek order, to bring out the proper emphasis, "Not the angels hath He," c. the world to come—implying, He has subjected to angels the existing world, the Old Testament dispensation (then still partly existing as to its framework), Hebrews 2:2, the political kingdom of the earth (Daniel 4:13 Daniel 10:13; Daniel 10:20;... read more
