Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 1:10

1:10 {9} And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast {u} laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:(9) He proves and confirms the dignity of Christ revealed in the flesh, by these six evident testimonies by which it appears that he far surpasses all angels, so much so that he is called both Son, and God in Hebrews 1:5-8; Hebrews 1:10; Hebrews 1:13 .(u) Made the earth firm and sure. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:1-14

In the first verse is compressed admirably the one most vital truth as to the history of man in all past ages; to which Jews would fully agree. God is, without preliminary, presented as having "in many parts and in many ways" spoken "in time past unto the fathers by the prophets." This was certainly revelation, yet gradually added to, and therefore only partial, not in any sense a complete revelation of God. Let us note too that He was not limited as to the ways in which He saw fit to... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-14

CHRIST AND THE ANGELS While in these chapters, the comparison is chiefly between Christ and the angels, yet they open with an important contrast between him and the prophets (1:1-3), in which His superiority is seen in seven particulars: 1. He is God’s Son. 2. He is Heir of all things. 3. He made the worlds. 4. He is the Express Image of God. 5. He Himself purged our sins. 6. He upholds all things. 7. He is seated at the right hand of God. The “express image” of God is equivalent to “God.”... read more

Joseph Parker

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 1:10-14

(10) And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (11) They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; (12) And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. (13) But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? (14) Are they not all ministering... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:10

And again: thou in the beginning, O Lord, hast founded the earth, &c. The text, as well as the authority of interpreters, shew these words to be still spoken of the Son of God, of Christ, who was both true God and man. And thought part of Psalm ci. from which these words are taken, contain a prayer to God for the restoring of the city of Jerusalem, yet in this psalm is chiefly signified the glory of Christ, and of his Church, which will be spread over all nations. See St. John Chrysostom,... 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

Frank Binford Hole

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
