12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
12 saying, "I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise."
12 Saying, I'll tell my good friends, my brothers and sisters, all I know about you; I'll join them in worship and praise to you.
12 saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."
12 For he said to God, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Hebrews 2:12
Commentary on Hebrews 2:10-13
(Read Hebrews 2:10-13)
Whatever the proud, carnal, and unbelieving may imagine or object, the spiritual mind will see peculiar glory in the cross of Christ, and be satisfied that it became 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 that 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, set apart to high and holy uses and purposes. Christ and believers are all of one heavenly Father, who is God. They are brought into relation with Christ. But the words, his not being ashamed to call them brethren, express the high superiority of Christ to the human nature. This is shown from three texts of Scripture. See Psalm 22:22; 18:2; Isaiah 8:18.
