Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 12:3

For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls.For notes on "consider," see under 3:1. It is no casual or nonchalant notice by mortals that our Lord is entitled to receive, or that will benefit them that look unto Jesus; but it is an intense, sustained and focal attention that people should give to Jesus, never relaxing or diminishing it until they have known him in the forgiveness of sins. What is said here of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 12:4

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.The sufferings of Christ, even unto death, are here contrasted with the sufferings of the Hebrews; and the interjection of the word "yet" appears to be the bluntest kind of warning that such a dreadful experience may indeed be waiting for them, just ahead. Westcott said:This statement is in no way opposed to the view that the epistle was addressed to the Palestinian church out of which St. Stephen and St. James had suffered... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 12:3

Hebrews 12:3. Consider him— The original word αναλογισασθε is very emphatical: it is a metaphor taken from arithmetical and geometrical propositions; so that it signifies the great accuracy and exactness, with which they should consider the Author and Finisher of their faith, and especially the analogy between his case and their o read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 12:4

Hebrews 12:4.— The apostle having encouraged the Hebrews by the examples of others who had patiently suffered for truth and holiness, especially that of Christ, now adds, that they were not yet called out to suffer to the death, and they ought to look on their sufferings as chastisements of a father's hand, and patiently endure them for two reasons; both because every father corrects his children, and because God designed to promote their welfare by chastising them. If others did not faint,... read more

3. For—justifying his exhortation, "Looking unto Jesus." consider—by way of comparison with yourselves, so the Greek. contradiction—unbelief, and every kind of opposition ( :-). sinners—Sin assails us. Not sin, but sinners, contradicted Christ [BENGEL]. be wearied and faint—Greek, "lest ye weary fainting." Compare Isaiah 49:4; Isaiah 49:5, as a specimen of Jesus not being wearied out by the contradiction and strange unbelief of those among whom He labored, preaching as never man did, and... read more

4. not yet resisted unto blood—image from pugilism, as he previously had the image of a race, both being taken from the great national Greek games. Ye have suffered the loss of goods, and been a gazing-stock by reproaches and afflictions; ye have not shed your blood (see on Hebrews 12:1). "The athlete who hath seen his own blood, and who, though cast down by his opponent, does not let his spirits be cast down, who as often as he hath fallen hath risen the more determined, goes down to the... read more

B. Demonstrating Necessary Endurance 12:1-13The writer followed up his scriptural exposition with another final exhortation (chs. 12-13).
