Hebrews 2:9
_ _ But — We see not man as yet exercising lordship over all things, “but rather, Him who was made a little lower than the angels (compare Luke 22:43), we behold (by faith: a different Greek verb from that for ‘we see,’ Hebrews 2:8, which expresses the impression which our eyes passively receive from objects around us; whereas, ‘we behold,’ or ‘look at,’ implies the direction and intention of one deliberately regarding something which he tries to see: so Hebrews 3:19; Hebrews 10:25, Greek), namely, Jesus, on account of His suffering of death, crowned,” etc. He is already crowned, though unseen by us, save by faith; hereafter all things shall be subjected to Him visibly and fully. The ground of His exaltation is “on account of His having suffered death” (Hebrews 2:10; Philippians 2:8, Philippians 2:9).
_ _ that he by the grace of God — (Titus 2:11; Titus 3:4). The reading of Origen, “That He without God” (laying aside His Divinity; or, for every being save God: or perhaps alluding to His having been temporarily “forsaken,” as the Sin-bearer, by the Father on the cross), is not supported by the manuscripts. The “that,” etc., is connected with “crowned with glory,” etc., thus: His exaltation after sufferings is the perfecting or consummation of His work (Hebrews 2:10) for us: without it His death would have been ineffectual; with it, and from it, flows the result that His tasting of death is available for (in behalf of, for the good of) every man. He is crowned as the Head in heaven of our common humanity, presenting His blood as the all-prevailing plea for us. This coronation above makes His death applicable for every individual man (observe the singular; not merely “for all men”), Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 9:24; 1 John 2:2. “Taste death” implies His personal experimental undergoing of death: death of the body, and death (spiritually) of the soul, in His being forsaken of the Father. “As a physician first tastes his medicines to encourage his sick patient to take them, so Christ, when all men feared death, in order to persuade them to be bold in meeting it, tasted it Himself, though He had no need” [Chrysostom]. (Hebrews 2:14, Hebrews 2:15). |
Hebrews 2:9
It is done only with regard to Jesus, God — Man, who is now crowned with glory and honour — As a reward for his having suffered death. He was made a little lower than the angels — Who cannot either suffer or die. That by the grace of God, he might taste death — An expression denoting both the reality of his death, and the shortness of its continuance. For every man — That ever was or will be born into the world. |
Hebrews 2:9
(6) But we (l) see Jesus, who was made a little (m) lower than the angels (7) for the (n) suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should (o) taste death for (8) every man.
(6) The answer: this is already fulfilled in Jesus Christ our head, who was temporarily for our sakes inferior to the angels, being made man: but now is advanced into most high glory.
(l) By his virtue and power which appears revealed in the Church.
(m) Who abased himself for a time, and took the position of a servant. (7) He shows the cause of this subjection, that is, to taste death for our sakes, that in so doing the part of a redeemer, he might not only be our Prophet and King, but also our High Priest.
(n) That he might die.
(o) Feel death. (8) In this exists the force of the argument: for we could not eventually be glorified with him, unless he was abased for us, even for all the elect. By this event the apostle comes to the other part of the declaration of Christ's person, in which he proved him to be God and also man. |
