Notes

Hebrews 2:12

This verse quotes Psalm 22:22 and discusses the term brothers and sisters in Hebrews 2:11. Psalm 22 includes important prophecies about Christ's suffering (Psalm 22:1, 7–8, 16–18; see Matthew 27:35, 43; John 19:23–24, 31–36). Psalm 22:22 highlights how the righteous sufferer (Jesus) joins God's people in praising God for His help.

Hebrews 2:10–18

This passage suggests at least four reasons why the Son of God became human.

  1. It was appropriate: It aligns with God's character to achieve salvation this way (Hebrews 2:10).

  2. Jesus needed to become human to die (2:14).

  3. According to Old Testament law, high priests had to be chosen from among God's people (2:17).

  4. Jesus became a compassionate priest by experiencing human suffering and challenges (2:18).
