Greek Commentary for Hebrews 2:10
Imperfect active of πρεπω prepō old verb to stand out, to be becoming or seemly. Here it is impersonal with τελειωσαι teleiōsai as subject, though personal in Hebrews 7:26. Αυτωι Autōi (him) is in the dative case and refers to God, not to Christ as is made plain by τον αρχηγον ton archēgon (author). One has only to recall John 3:16 to get the idea here. The voluntary humiliation or incarnation of Christ the Son a little lower than the angels was a seemly thing to God the Father as the writer now shows in a great passage (Hebrews 2:10-18) worthy to go beside Philemon 2:5-11. For whom Referring to αυτωι autōi (God) as the reason (cause) for the universe Through whom With the genitive δια dia expresses the agent by whom the universe came into existence, a direct repudiation of the Gnostic view of intermediate agencies (aeons) between God and the creation of the universe. Paul puts it succinctly in Romans 11:36 by his εχ αυτου και δι αυτου και εις αυτον τα παντα ex autou kai di' autou kai eis auton ta panta The universe comes out of God, by means of God, for God. This writer has already said that God used his Son as the Agent Second aorist active participle of αυτωι agō in the accusative case in spite of the dative τον αρχηγον autōi just before to which it refers. The author (αρχη ton archēgon). Old compound word (αγω archē and τελειωσαι agō) one leading off, leader or prince as in Acts 5:31, one blazing the way, a pioneer (Dods) in faith (Hebrews 12:2), author (Acts 3:15). Either sense suits here, though author best (Hebrews 2:9). Jesus is the author of salvation, the leader of the sons of God, the Elder Brother of us all (Romans 8:29). To make perfect (τελειοω teleiōsai). First aorist active infinitive of τελειος teleioō (from teleios). If one recoils at the idea of God making Christ perfect, he should bear in mind that it is the humanity of Jesus that is under discussion. The writer does not say that Jesus was sinful (see the opposite in Hebrews 4:15), but simply that “by means of sufferings” God perfected his Son in his human life and death for his task as Redeemer and Saviour. One cannot know human life without living it. There was no moral imperfection in Jesus, but he lived his human life in order to be able to be a sympathizing and effective leader in the work of salvation. [source]

Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Hebrews 2:10
Old word, but in the N.T. only here and Acts 4:22, Acts 4:30.I am perfected (τελειουμαι teleioumai). Present passive indicative of τελειοω teleioō old verb from τελειος teleios to bring to perfection, frequent in the N.T. Used in Hebrews 2:10 of the Father‘s purpose in the humanity of Christ. Perfect humanity is a process and Jesus was passing through that, without sin, but not without temptation and suffering. It is the prophetic present with the sense of the future. [source]

Better, as Rev., accomplish. Not merely bring to an end, but perfect. From τέλειος , perfect. The verb is characteristic of John, and of the Epistle to the Hebrews. See John 5:36; John 17:4; John 19:28; 1 John 2:5; 1 John 4:12; Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 5:9, etc. [source]
Literally, through him. The preposition διά is generally used to denote the working of God through some secondary agency, as διὰ τοῦ προφήτου , through the prophet (Matthew 1:22, on which see note). It is the preposition by which the relation of Christ to creation is usually expressed (see 1 Corinthians 8:6; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2), though it is occasionally used of the Father (Hebrews 2:10; Romans 11:36, and Galatians 1:1, where it is used of both). Hence, as Godet remarks, it “does not lower the Word to the rank of a simple instrument,” but merely implies a different relation to creation on the part of the Father and the Son. [source]
Perfect passive indicative of τελεω teleō See same form in John 19:30. As in John 13:1, where Jesus is fully conscious (knowing, ειδως eidōs) of the meaning of his atoning death. Might be accomplished First aorist passive subjunctive of τελειοω teleioō rather than the usual πληρωτηι plērōthēi (John 19:24) with ινα hina John sees the thirst of Jesus in Psalm 69:21. Jesus, of course, did not make the outcry in any mechanical way. Thirst is one of the severest agonies of crucifixion. For the “perfecting” of the Messiah by physical suffering see Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 5:7. [source]
The Greek brings out by the position of these words what Bengel calls “the magnificent antithesis” between a murderer and the Prince of life. “Ye demanded a murderer, but the Prince of life ye killed.” This is the only place where the phrase occurs. Ἀρχηγός , though sometimes rendered prince, means, primarily, beginning, and thence originator, author. Better here as Rev., in margin, author, and so by Rev. at Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 12:2. [source]
“The magnificent antithesis” (Bengel) Peter here draws between their asking for a murderer and killing the Prince (or Author) of life. Peter pictures Jesus as the source of all life as is done in John 1:1-18; Colossians 1:14-20; Hebrews 1:2. Αρχηγος Archēgos See also Hebrews 2:10; Acts 5:31 where it is applied to Jesus as “Prince and Saviour.” But God raised him from the dead in contrast to what they had done. [source]
The genitive, governed by the preceding διὰ byor through. The idea is the same as an apostle by the will of God: 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Ephesians 1:1. Διὰ is used of secondary agency, as Matthew 1:22; Matthew 11:2; Luke 1:70; Acts 1:16; Hebrews 1:2. But we find διὰ θελήματος θεοῦ bythe will of God, Romans 15:32; 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1, etc., and διὰ θεοῦ byGod, Galatians 4:7. Also δἰ οὗ (God), 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 2:10. [source]
Rev., better, through Him and unto Him. See on Romans 11:36. Compare in Him at the beginning of the verse. There Christ was represented as the conditional cause of all things. All things came to pass within the sphere of His personality and as dependent upon it. Here He appears as the mediating cause; through Him, as 1 Corinthians 8:6. Unto Him. All things, as they had their beginning in Him, tend to Him as their consummation, to depend on and serve Him. Compare Revelation 22:13; and Hebrews 2:10; “for whose sake ( δι ' ὃν ) and through whose agency ( δι ' οὗ ) are all things” Rev., “for whom and through whom.” See also Ephesians 1:10, Ephesians 1:23; Ephesians 4:10; Philemon 2:9-11; 1 Corinthians 15:28. The false teachers maintained that the universe proceeded from God indirectly, through a succession of emanations. Christ, at best, was only one of these. As such, the universe could not find its consummation in Him. [source]
Paul now gives the reason It is the constative aorist passive indicative εκτιστη ektisthē (from κτιζω ktizō old verb, to found, to create (Romans 1:25). This central activity of Christ in the work of creation is presented also in John 1:3; Hebrews 1:2 and is a complete denial of the Gnostic philosophy. The whole of creative activity is summed up in Christ including the angels in heaven and everything on earth. God wrought through “the Son of his love.” All earthly dignities are included. Have been created (εκτισται ektistai). Perfect passive indicative of κτιζω ktizō “stand created,” “remain created.” The permanence of the universe rests, then, on Christ far more than on gravity. It is a Christo-centric universe. Through him As the intermediate and sustaining agent. He had already used εν αυτωι en autōi (in him) as the sphere of activity. And unto him (και εις αυτον kai eis auton). This is the only remaining step to take and Paul takes it (1 Corinthians 15:28) See note on Ephesians 1:10 for similar use of εν αυτωι en autōi of Christ and in Colossians 1:19, Colossians 1:20 again we have εν αυτωι δι αυτου εις αυτον en autōiclass="normal greek">δι ον di' autouclass="normal greek">δι ου eis auton used of Christ. See note on Hebrews 2:10 for τα παντα di' hon (because of whom) and εχ αυτου και δι αυτου και εις αυτον τα παντα di' hou (by means of whom) applied to God concerning the universe (εχ ta panta). In Romans 11:35 we find εν ex autou kai di' autou kai eis auton ta panta referring to God. But Paul does not use δια ex in this connection of Christ, but only εις en εχ dia and δια eis See the same distinction preserved in 1 Corinthians 8:6 (ex of God, dia of Christ). [source]

Originally, to stand out; be conspicuous. Thus Homer, Od. viii. 172: μετὰ δὲ πρέπει ἀγρομένοισιν heis conspicuous among those who are assembled. Eurip. Hel. 215; Ζεὺς πρέπων δἰ αἰθερος Zeus shining clearly through the aether. Hence, to become conspicuously fit; to become; beseem. In N.T. in the impersonal forms πρέπον ἐστὶν itis becoming (Matthew 3:15); πρέπει itbecometh (Ephesians 5:3); ἔπρεπεν itbecame (Hebrews 2:10). With a subject nominative, 1 Timothy 2:10; Hebrews 7:26.

The A.V. is misleading, and narrows the scope of the passage. For author, rend. leader or captain, and see on Hebrews 2:10. For finisher, rend. perfecter. For our faith, rend. faith or the faith. Not our Christian faith, but faith absolutely, as exhibited in the whole range of believers from Abel to Christ. Christ cannot be called the author or originator of faith, since the faith here treated existed and worked before Christ. Christ is the leader or captain of faith, in that he is the perfecter of faith. In himself he furnished the perfect development, the supreme example of faith, and in virtue of this he is the leader of the whole believing host in all time. Notice the recurrence of the favorite idea of perfecting. Comp.

Rend. maintaining. Upholding conveys too much the idea of the passive support of a burden. “The Son is not an Atlas, sustaining the dead weight of the world” (quoted by Westcott). Neither is the sense that of ruling or guiding, as Philo (De Cherub. § 11), who describes the divine word as “the steersman and pilot of the all.” It implies sustaining, but also movement. It deals with a burden, not as a dead weight, but as in continual movement; as Weiss puts it, “with the all in all its changes and transformations throughout the aeons.” It is concerned, not only with sustaining the weight of the universe, but also with maintaining its coherence and carrying on its development. What is said of God, Colossians 1:17, is here said or implied of Christ: τὰ πάντα ἐν αὐτῷ συνέστηκεν allthings (collectively, the universe) consist or maintain their coherence in him. So the Logos is called by Philo the bond ( δεσμὸς ) of the universe; but the maintenance of the coherence implies the guidance and propulsion of all the parts to a definite end. All things ( τὰ πάντα ) collectively considered; the universe; all things in their unity. See Hebrews 2:10; Romans 8:32; Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 1:10; Colossians 1:16. [source]
Lit. in a son. Note the absence of the article. Attention is directed, not to Christ's divine personality, but to his filial relation. While the former revelation was given through a definite class, the prophets, the new revelation is given through one who is a son as distinguished from a prophet. He belongs to another category. The revelation was a son-revelation. See Hebrews 2:10-18. Christ's high priesthood is the central fact of the epistle, and his sonship is bound up with his priesthood. See Hebrews 5:5. For a similar use of υἱός sonwithout the article, applied to Christ, see Hebrews 3:6; Hebrews 5:8; Hebrews 7:28. [source]
A rare periphrastic (intransitive) future perfect of πειτω peithō a quotation from Isaiah 8:17. The author represents the Messiah as putting his trust in God as other men do (cf. Hebrews 12:2). Certainly Jesus did this constantly. The third quotation (και παλιν kai palin And again) is from Isaiah 8:18 (the next verse), but the Messiah shows himself closely linked with the children (παιδια paidia) of God, the sons (υιοι huioi) of Hebrews 2:10.

Concessive participle with καιπερ kaiper regular Greek idiom as in Hebrews 7:5; Hebrews 12:17.

By the things which he suffered There is a play on the two verbs (εματενεπατεν emathen -πασχω epathen), paronomasia.

First aorist passive participle of τελειοω teleioō the completion of the process of training mentioned by this same verb in Hebrews 2:10 “by means of sufferings” Common adjective from αιτια aitia (cause), causing, often in Greek with σωτηριας sōtērias (Aeschines, Philo), in N.T. only here, Luke 23:4, Luke 23:14, Luke 23:22; Acts 19:40.

Present middle imperative of αναμιμνησκω anamimnēskō as in 2 Corinthians 7:15 “remind yourselves.” The former days were some distance in the past (Hebrews 5:12), some years at any rate. It is a definite experience of people in a certain place. Jerusalem Christians had had experiences of this nature, but so had others. After ye were enlightened First aorist passive participle of πωτιζω phōtizō in the same sense as in Hebrews 6:4 (regeneration) and like “the full knowledge of the truth” in Hebrews 10:26. Conflict Late word from ατλεω athleō to engage in a public contest in the games (2 Timothy 2:5), only here in the N.T. It occurs in the inscriptions. Cf.

Present active participle of αποραω aphoraō old verb to look away, “looking away to Jesus.” In N.T. only here and Philemon 2:23.

Moses in Hebrews 11:26 The author See Hebrews 2:10 for this word. “The pioneer of personal faith” (Moffatt). Perfecter A word apparently coined by the writer from τελειοω teleioō as it has been found nowhere else. Vulgate has consummator. For the joy Answering to, in exchange for (Hebrews 12:16), at the end of the race lay the joy “set before him” The cross at his time brought only shame (most shameful of deaths, “yea, the death of the cross” Philemon 2:8).

Imperfect active of πρεπω prepō old verb to stand out, to be becoming or seemly. Here it is impersonal with τελειωσαι teleiōsai as subject, though personal in Hebrews 7:26. Αυτωι Autōi (him) is in the dative case and refers to God, not to Christ as is made plain by τον αρχηγον ton archēgon (author). One has only to recall John 3:16 to get the idea here. The voluntary humiliation or incarnation of Christ the Son a little lower than the angels was a seemly thing to God the Father as the writer now shows in a great passage (Hebrews 2:10-18) worthy to go beside Philemon 2:5-11. For whom Referring to αυτωι autōi (God) as the reason (cause) for the universe Through whom With the genitive δια dia expresses the agent by whom the universe came into existence, a direct repudiation of the Gnostic view of intermediate agencies (aeons) between God and the creation of the universe. Paul puts it succinctly in Romans 11:36 by his εχ αυτου και δι αυτου και εις αυτον τα παντα ex autou kai di' autou kai eis auton ta panta The universe comes out of God, by means of God, for God. This writer has already said that God used his Son as the Agent Second aorist active participle of αυτωι agō in the accusative case in spite of the dative τον αρχηγον autōi just before to which it refers. The author (αρχη ton archēgon). Old compound word (αγω archē and τελειωσαι agō) one leading off, leader or prince as in Acts 5:31, one blazing the way, a pioneer (Dods) in faith (Hebrews 12:2), author (Acts 3:15). Either sense suits here, though author best (Hebrews 2:9). Jesus is the author of salvation, the leader of the sons of God, the Elder Brother of us all (Romans 8:29). To make perfect (τελειοω teleiōsai). First aorist active infinitive of τελειος teleioō (from teleios). If one recoils at the idea of God making Christ perfect, he should bear in mind that it is the humanity of Jesus that is under discussion. The writer does not say that Jesus was sinful (see the opposite in Hebrews 4:15), but simply that “by means of sufferings” God perfected his Son in his human life and death for his task as Redeemer and Saviour. One cannot know human life without living it. There was no moral imperfection in Jesus, but he lived his human life in order to be able to be a sympathizing and effective leader in the work of salvation. [source]
Present active articular participle of αγιαζω hagiazō Jesus is the sanctifier (Hebrews 9:13.; Hebrews 13:12). They that are sanctified Present passive articular participle of αγιαζω hagiazō It is a process here as in Hebrews 10:14, not a single act, though in Hebrews 10:10 the perfect passive indicative presents a completed state. Of one Referring to God as the Father of Jesus and of the “many sons” above (Hebrews 2:10) and in harmony with Hebrews 2:14 below. Even before the incarnation Jesus had a kinship with men though we are not sons in the full sense that he is. He is not ashamed Present passive indicative of επαισχυνομαι epaischunomai old compound (Romans 1:16). Because of the common Father Jesus is not ashamed to own us as “brothers” (αδελπους adelphous), unworthy sons though we be. [source]

Perfected Perfect passive participle of τελειοω teleioō The process (Hebrews 2:10) was now complete. Imperfect and sinful as we are we demand a permanent high priest who is sinless and perfectly equipped by divine appointment and human experience (Hebrews 2:17.; Hebrews 5:1-10) to meet our needs, and with the perfect offering of himself as sacrifice.
