Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 2:11

_ _ he that sanctifieth — Christ who once for all consecrates His people to God (Jude 1:1, bringing them nigh to Him as the consequence) and everlasting glory, by having consecrated Himself for them in His being made “perfect (as their expiatory sacrifice) through sufferings” (Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 10:14, Hebrews 10:29; John 17:17, John 17:19). God in His electing love, by Christ’s finished work, perfectly sanctifies them to God’s service and to heaven once for all: then they are progressively sanctified by the transforming Spirit “Sanctification is glory working in embryo; glory is sanctification come to the birth, and manifested” [Alford].

_ _ they who are sanctifiedGreek, “they that are being sanctified” (compare the use of “sanctified,” 1 Corinthians 7:14).

_ _ of one — Father, God: not in the sense wherein He is Father of all beings, as angels; for these are excluded by the argument (Hebrews 2:16); but as He is Father of His spiritual human sons, Christ the Head and elder Brother, and His believing people, the members of the body and family. Thus, this and the following verses are meant to justify his having said, “many sons” (Hebrews 2:10). “Of one” is not “of one father Adam,” or “Abraham,” as Bengel and others suppose. For the Savior’s participation in the lowness of our humanity is not mentioned till Hebrews 2:14, and then as a consequence of what precedes. Moreover, “Sons of God” is, in Scripture usage, the dignity obtained by our union with Christ; and our brotherhood with Him flows from God being His and our Father. Christ’s Sonship (by generation) in relation to God is reflected in the sonship (by adoption) of His brethren.

_ _ he is not ashamed — though being the Son of God, since they have now by adoption obtained a like dignity, so that His majesty is not compromised by brotherhood with them (compare Hebrews 11:16). It is a striking feature in Christianity that it unites such amazing contrasts as “our brother and our God” [Tholuck]. “God makes of sons of men sons of God, because God hath made of the Son of God the Son of man” [St. Augustine on Psalms 2:1-12].

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 2:11

For — They are nearly related to each other. He that sanctifieth — Christ, Hebrews 13:12. And all they that are sanctified — That are brought to God; that draw near or come to him, which are synonymous terms. Are all of one — Partakers of one nature, from one parent, Adam.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 2:11

(12) For both he that (r) sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of (s) one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

(12) The basis for both of the former arguments, for we could not be sons through him, neither could he be consecrated through afflictions, unless he had been made man like us. But because this sonship depends not only on nature, for no man is accounted the son of God, unless he is also a son of a man, he is also Christ's brother, (which is by sanctification, that is, by becoming one with Christ, who sanctifies us through faith) therefore the apostle makes mention of the sanctifier, that is, of Christ, and of them that are sanctified, that is, of all the elect, who Christ condescends to call brethren.

(r) He uses the time to show us that we are still going on, and increasing in this sanctification: and by sanctification he means our separation from the rest of the world, our cleansing from sin, and our dedication wholly to God, all which Christ alone works in us.

(s) One, of the same nature of man.
