Hebrews 1:5-2:1 BSB

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Hebrews 1:1-14

"Divers Manners" Heb 1:1 For want of knowing this, people are ignorantly charging the evangelists and even modern Christian teachers with inconsistencies and paradoxes, and even high treasons. It is wonderful what ignorance can do. Falsehood can always be more fluent, if not more eloquent, than truth. The liar has no difficulties. He can say what comes uppermost; he has so depleted himself that he has no memory, so that when he is accused he does not burn with shame. We cannot even get... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 1:4-7

(4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (5) For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (6) And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. (7) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:5

Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. These words, though commonly expounded of the eternal generation of the Son of God in the day or moment of eternity, yet may be truly applied either to Christ made man by his incarnation, or to Christ risen from the dead, as they are used by St. Paul, (Acts xiii. 33.) because the same Christ both these ways is the Son of God. It was the only true and natural Son of God, who was made flesh, who was made man, who rose from the dead; and the eternal... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:4-14

4-14 Many Jews had a superstitious or idolatrous respect for angels, because they had received the law and other tidings of the Divine will by their ministry. They looked upon them as mediators between God and men, and some went so far as to pay them a kind of religious homage or worship. Thus it was necessary that the apostle should insist, not only on Christ's being the Creator of all things, and therefore of angels themselves, but as being the risen and exalted Messiah in human nature, to... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-99

Hebrews 1 THE EPISTLE OPENS in the most majestic manner. Hebrews is the only book in the Bible which begins with the word, GOD. We are at once brought face to face with the tremendous fact that God, who had spoken to the fathers of Israel by prophets in former days, had now spoken in divine fulness and with finality in His Son. Just notice in passing that this first verse witnesses that the epistle is to the Hebrews, for the expression, “the fathers,” would have no meaning for a Gentile. God... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 1:4-14

A comparison between Christ and the angels: v. 4. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. v. 5. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee? And again, I will be to Him a father, and he shall be to Me a Son? v. 6. And again, when He bringeth in the First-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him. v. 7. And of the angels he saith,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-14

God’s Final and Supreme Messenger Hebrews 1:1-14 Christianity is greater than the Mosaic dispensation because it has been given through the Son, whereas the Law came through angels. See Acts 7:53 . The message of the Gospel is connected speech; that of the Law was broken syllables. The Son’s intrinsic glory , Hebrews 1:1-4 . Jesus is the channel of creation, providence and redemption. He is the far-traveled ray of Deity; but not one among many equals, for of Him alone could it be said that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 1:1-14

The first words of this epistle plunge to the heart of the subject. Two truths are revealed: the first, God; the second, that God has revealed Himself. Two periods of revelation are referred to, that "of old time," and that "at the end of these days." These periods are contrasted. The first was characterized by diversity. The new is characterized by unity. The whole argument is to show the superiority of the speech that has come through the Son. His glories are set forth in a sevenfold... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-13

Seeing Christ in Hebrews Hebrews 1:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of Hebrews ever stands before us as a great Bible masterpiece on the glories of Christ. The 1st chapter, which we are using, for the introduction, demonstrates that Christ is, in at least seven stated points superior to angels. We need not marvel at this, inasmuch as the opening verses of Hebrews establish the Deity of our Lord, and Saviour Jesus Christ. In these verses, Christ is set forth as follows: 1. He is God's Son. ... read more
