Hebrews 2:10

10. It became him It was suitable to the wisdom and goodness of God, who saw that the sufferings of one Son were the truest method and condition for bringing many sons unto glory. This becomingness of the suffering Messiah, our author adduces to convince and console those wavering Hebrews who desired a glorious, but disliked a crucified, Saviour.

For whom… by whom… all The author of our salvation is the author and proprietor of all. No method but that which became him which was worthy of his dignity as God of the universe could be adopted.

Many sons Who might be all the race, every man, if every man would consent. The divine idea, the brotherhood of Christ, extends to every man. The failure is not upon the part of God, but of man. Note on Ephesians 1:10.

Captain Rendered in Acts 3:15, prince. The word signifies doubly an author or originator, and a military leader. It here includes both, and especially the latter, as presenting the image of Christ leading many unto glory.

Perfect Fitted and completed perfectly as the great leader of salvation.

Through sufferings So far from being a ground of misgiving, O ye tremulous Hebrews, the sufferings of our Captain are requisite in order to his perfect fitness and success in his divine enterprise. And let all sufferers know, throughout this suffering world, that as he was glorified through suffering, so our sufferings are glorified through him. Happy for us if our sufferings make us perfect as brethren of the Son. For this is the true mission of sorrow to solidify our virtues by trial, to deepen our characters by solemn experiences.
