Matthew Henry Commentary Hebrews 2:10-13

"For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me." — Hebrews 2:10-13 (ASV)

Whatever the proud, carnal, and unbelieving may imagine or object, the spiritual mind will see a special glory in the cross of Christ and will be satisfied that it was fitting for Him—who in all things displays His own perfections in bringing many sons to glory—to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

His way to the crown was by the cross, and so must the way of His people be.

Christ sanctifies; He has purchased and sent the sanctifying Spirit. The Spirit sanctifies as the Spirit of Christ. True believers are sanctified, endowed with holy principles and powers, and set apart for high and holy uses and purposes.

Christ and believers are all of one heavenly Father, who is God. They are brought into relationship with Christ. However, the fact that He is not ashamed to call them brothers expresses Christ's high superiority to human nature. This is shown from three texts of Scripture (Psalms 18:2; Isaiah 8:18).
