Hebrews 2:8 NASB,NASB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:8

Thou hast put all things in subjection ... - Psalms 8:6. That is, all things are put under the control of man, or thou hast given him dominion over all things.For in that he put all in subjection - The meaning of this is, that the “fair interpretation” of the passage in the Psalm is, that the dominion of “man,” or of human nature over the earth, was to be absolute and total. Nothing was to be excepted. But this is not now the fact in regard to man in general, and can be true only of human... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 2:8-9

Hebrews 2:8-9. Thou hast put all things All things without exception; in subjection Υποκατω των ποδων αυτου , under his very feet Such are the psalmist’s words, expressive of a dominion every way unlimited and absolute. For in that it is said, he put all things under him, he left nothing That is, nothing is excepted; that is not put under him But the whole universe and every creature in it is included. But now we see not yet all things put under him That is, under man,... 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 2:8

Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.This verse emphasizes the differences between man's potential and what he has actually become. The grave consequences of the fall of Adam, the expulsion from Eden, the cursing of the ground, and the imposition of the penalty of death - all these things have for long ages frustrated the human... 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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:8

8. ( :-.) For in that—that is, "For in that" God saith in the eighth Psalm, "He put the all things (so the Greek, the all things just mentioned) in subjection under him (man), He left nothing . . . As no limitation occurs in the sacred writing, the "all things" must include heavenly, as well as earthly things (compare 1 Corinthians 3:21; 1 Corinthians 3:22). But now—As things now are, we see not yet the all things put under man. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:5-9

D. The Humiliation and Glory of God’s SON 2:5-9Hebrews 2:5-18 present eight reasons for the incarnation of the Son: to fulfill God’s purpose for man (Hebrews 2:5-9 a), to taste death for all (Hebrews 2:9 b), and to bring many sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10-13). He also came to destroy the devil (Hebrews 2:14), to deliver those in bondage (Hebrews 2:15), to become a priest for men (Hebrews 2:16-17 a), to make propitiation for sins (Hebrews 2:17 b), and to provide help for those tested (Hebrews... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:6-8

The writer interpreted this passage (Psalms 8:4-6) as Messianic. [Note: See Donald R. Glenn, "Psalms 8 and Hebrews 2 : A Case Study in Biblical Hermeneutics and Biblical Theology," in Walvoord: A Tribute, p. 44. ] There is some evidence that most of the Jews of this time did not consider Psalms 8 to be messianic. [Note: Guthrie, p. 84. See also Martin Pickup, "New Testament Interpretation of the Old Testament: The Theological Rationale of Midrashic Exegesis," Journal of the Evangelical... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:8-9

Even though believers do not yet see Jesus glorified on earth, we do see Him with the eye of faith glorified in heaven. God has crowned Jesus with glory and honor because He endured death. [Note: See Moffatt, p. 24.] He suffered death because it was God’s will for Him to taste death for every person. Suffering, introduced here, becomes a dominant theme in this epistle. This was God’s purpose in the Incarnation.Jesus Christ’s death was for everyone in that by dying He paid the penalty for the... read more
