Hebrews 2:10

For—giving a reason why "the grace of God" required that Jesus "should taste death."

it became him—The whole plan was (not only not derogatory to, but) highly becoming God, though unbelief considers it a disgrace [BENGEL]. An answer to the Jews, and Hebrew Christians, whosoever, through impatience at the delay in the promised advent of Christ's glory, were in danger of apostasy, stumbling at Christ crucified. The Jerusalem Christians especially were liable to this danger. This scheme of redemption was altogether such a one as harmonizes with the love, justice, and wisdom of God.

for whom—God the Father (Romans 11:36; I Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11). In Colossians 1:16 the same is said of Christ.

all things—Greek, "the universe of things," "the all things." He uses for "God," the periphrasis, "Him for whom . . . by whom are all things," to mark the becomingness of Christ's suffering as the way to His being "perfected" as "Captain of our salvation," seeing that His is the way that pleased Him whose will and whose glory are the end of all things, and by whose operation all things exist.

in bringing—The Greek is past, "having brought as He did," namely, in His electing purpose (compare "ye are sons," namely, in His purpose, Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 1:4), a purpose which is accomplished in Jesus being "perfected through sufferings."

many— (Matthew 20:28). "The Church" (Hebrews 2:12), "the general assembly" (Hebrews 12:23).

sons—no longer children as under the Old Testament law, but sons by adoption.

unto glory—to share Christ's "glory" (Hebrews 2:9; compare Hebrews 2:7; John 17:10, John 17:22, John 17:24; Romans 8:21). Sonship, holiness (Hebrews 2:11), and glory, are inseparably joined. "Suffering," "salvation," and "glory," in Paul's writings, often go together (II Timothy 2:10). Salvation presupposes destruction, deliverance from which for us required Christ's "sufferings."

to make . . . perfect—"to consummate"; to bring to consummated glory through sufferings, as the appointed avenue to it. "He who suffers for another, not only benefits him, but becomes himself the brighter and more perfect" [CHRYSOSTOM]. Bringing to the end of troubles, and to the goal full of glory: a metaphor from the contests in the public games. Compare "It is finished," Luke 24:26; John 19:30. I prefer, with CALVIN, understanding, "to make perfect as a completed sacrifice": legal and official, not moral, perfection is meant: "to consecrate" (so the same Greek is translated Hebrews 7:28; compare Margin) by the finished expiation of His death, as our perfect High Priest, and so our "Captain of salvation" (Luke 13:32). This agrees with Hebrews 2:11, "He that sanctifieth," that is, consecrates them by Himself being made a consecrated offering for them. So Hebrews 10:14, Hebrews 10:29; John 17:19 : by the perfecting of His consecration for them in His death, He perfects their consecration, and so throws open access to glory (Hebrews 10:19-21; Hebrews 5:9; Hebrews 9:9 accord with this sense).

captain of, etc.—literally, Prince-leader: as Joshua, not Moses, led the people into the Holy Land, so will our Joshua, or Jesus, lead us into the heavenly inheritance (Acts 13:39). The same Greek is in Hebrews 12:2, "Author of our faith." Acts 3:15, "Prince of life" (Acts 5:31). Preceding others by His example, as well as the originator of our salvation.
