Hebrews 2:12

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 2:10-13

Having mentioned the death of Christ, the apostle here proceeds to prevent and remove the scandal of the cross; and this he does by showing both how it became God that Christ should suffer and how much man should be benefited by those sufferings. I. How it became God that Christ should suffer: For it became him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings, Heb. 2:10. Here, 1. God is... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 2:10-18

2:10-18 For, in his work of bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that he for whom everything exists and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of salvation fully adequate for his destined work through suffering. For he who sanctifies and they who are sanctified must come of one stock. It is for this reason that he does not hesitate to call them brothers, as when he says: "I will tell your name to my brothers; I will sing hymns to you in the midst of the gathering of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:12

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren ,.... These words, with the following clause, are cited from Psalm 22:22 as a proof of what the apostle had before asserted; and that this psalm is to be understood, not of the Jewish nation, or people of Israel, nor of Esther, nor of David, but of the Messiah, appears from the title of it, "Aijeleth, Shahar", which signifies "the morning hind"; from the particular account of Christ's sufferings in it; from his several offices herein pointed... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:12

I will declare thy name - See Psalm 22:22 . The apostle certainly quotes this psalm as referring to Jesus Christ, and these words as spoken by Christ unto the Father, in reference to his incarnation; as if he had said: "When I shall be incarnated, I will declare thy perfections to mankind; and among my disciples I will give glory to thee for thy mercy to the children of men." See the fulfillment of this, John 1:18 ; : No man hath seen God at any time; the Only-Begotten Son, which is in... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:12

Verse 12 12.In the midst of the Church. (43) It hence appears plainly, that the proclamation of God’s praises is always promoted by the teaching of the gospel; for as soon as God becomes known to us, his boundless praises sound in our hearts and in our ears; and at the same time Christ encourages us by his own example publicly to celebrate them, so that they may be heard by as many as possible. For it would not be sufficient for each one of us to thank God himself for benefits received, except... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:10-13

His exaltation endears his association with his followers. There is a Divine becomingness and suitability in the process of salvation, which suggests that as the Leader of believing souls should pass through sorrow and gain his official perfectness through sufferings which show at what a cost redemption was procured, they qualify him to become an Example to which Christians are to be conformed. He reached his glory through distress and agony, and his followers are through much tribulation... read more

The oneness of the Sanctifier and the sanctified. "For both he that sanctifieth and they who are," etc. I. THE ONENESS OF OUR LORD WITH MAN . "Both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one." 1. Our Lord is of one nature with man. This is what many take to be the meaning of the writer in this place. The Savior was truly human. As a man, he hungered and thirsted, ate and drank, was wearied and slept, sorrowed and wept, suffered and died. His... read more

The Incarnation a necessity of the redeeming work of Christ. A third argument to justify the Incarnation.

Jesus our Brother. Here the writer expands the statement of Hebrews 2:10 , and confirms it by suitable arguments.

I will declare thy Name unto my brethren, in the midst of the Church (or, congregation ) will I sing praise unto thee . This first citation is from Psalms 22:22 , quoted, it would seem, from memory or from a text of the LXX . different from ours, διηγήσομαι being changed to ἀπαγγελῶ , but with no difference of meaning. The psalm is attributed by tradition to David, being entitled "a psalm of David." Delitzsch and Ebrard accept it as certainly his, concluding, from its... read more
