(Heb 2:14–18) Therefore, since the children share in common with one another blood and flesh, He himself also partook with them in the same, in order that through the aforementioned death He might render inoperative the one having the dominion of death, that is, the devil, and effect the release of those, as many as who by reason of fear of death through the entire course of their lives were held in bondage. For, as is well known, He does not take hold of angels for the purpose of helping them, but of the offspring of Abraham He takes hold, with a view to succoring them. For this reason it was an obligation for Him in all things to be made like His brethren, in order that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, with a view to offering that sacrifice for the sins of the people that would perfectly meet the demands of God’s justice. For in that He suffered, having himself been tempted and put to the test, He is able to run to the cry of those who are being tempted and put to the test, and bring them aid. -- New Testament An Expanded Translation Wuest, K. S.[1]


Hebrews 2:18 (WWSGNT):
(2:18) The emphasis in this verse is not upon the fact that the Lord Jesus suffered, but upon the fact that He was tempted. The order of the Greek words and their translation are as follows: “For in that which He suffered, having Himself been tempted.” The words “in that which He suffered” qualify the word “tempted.” The phrase explains in what the temptation consisted. The word “tempted” is the translation of peirazomai (πειραζομαι), which referred first to the action of putting someone to the test to see what good or evil is in the one tested, and second, because so many broke down under the test and committed sin, the word came to mean a “solicitation to do evil.” Both meanings are in view here. Our Lord in His incarnation as the Last Adam, was put to the test and was also solicited to do evil (Matt. 4:1–11). Here the inspired writer has in view the testings and solicitations to do evil that were associated with His expiatory sufferings on the Cross. For examples of these see Matthew 4:89, where Satan tempts our Lord to go around the Cross and accept from his hands the world-dominion He is yet to have. See Matthew 16:2122, where Peter, the unconscious tool of Satan dismisses as absurd the idea that Jesus as Messiah should die at the hands of the leaders of Israel; and Matthew 26:36–46, where in Gethsemane His sinless human and at the same time divine shrinking back from the prospect of being made sin and of losing the fellowship of the Father caused Him to pray, “If it be possible, let this cup pass from Me.”
But see how He met each temptation. In the case of Satan tempting Him to worship him, He who had obeyed as a habit of life the words of Deuteronomy 10:20, now had because of that fact, reserves of spiritual power in His sinless humanity with which to say NO to Satan. The believer has the same resource. When Peter tempted Him to put the Cross away, He recognized Satan’s hand in it all, and withstood the temptation, choosing the way that savored of God, not man. The believer has the same resource. With his spiritual vision sharpened by the Holy Spirit through the Word, he is able to detect Satan’s machinations and swing out away from them, keeping in the path of God’s leading. In the garden of Gethsemane, our Lord was victor when He said, “nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.” He chose death to self rather than disobedience to the Father’s wishes. That is what Paul is speaking of in Philippians 2:5–810. The believer has the same resource. When he comes to the place where he is dead to self, where self has ceased its imperious demands for satisfaction, where nothing matters except the sweet will of God, then he finds an arsenal of ammunition which he can hurl as an effective broadside against temptation. In all temptations the Lord Jesus stands ready to give aid to the sorely tried saint. He understands all about it, not only in His omniscience, but also experientially, for He has experienced all this Himself. The word “succor” is the translation of boetheo (βοεθεο) which means “to run to the cry of those in danger and bring them aid.” How precious to know that when we are being tempted, the Lord Jesus always stands ready, eager to run to our cry and bring us aid.

§ 2:14–18 Christ is presented first as our Redeemer and Warrior who defeats our oppressor and sets us free, then as our merciful High Priest who helps us in our trials.

§ 2:14 flesh and blood. This is an idiomatic way of saying “human.” The same Greek phrase is seen at Matt. 16:171 Cor. 15:50Gal. 1:16Eph. 6:12; it may emphasize the limitations of the human condition.

shared in the same. That is, the same humanity, a phrase stressing the completeness of the Son’s incarnation. In order for Christ to triumph over death and the devil by enduring God’s judgment upon sinners, it was necessary for Him to share their “flesh and blood” nature.

him who had the power of death. Having tempted humanity to sin, the devil then acts as an accuser (Rev. 12:10), demanding that a just punishment be exacted; and “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23; cf. 1 Cor. 15:56). The devil’s power to kill is destroyed only when our sin has been punished—in Christ’s death. Then his accusations have no ground (Col. 2:1415).

§ 2:16 This verse resumes the contrast of v. 5. The background is Is. 41:8–14, where Israel is called “descendants of Abraham,” whom the Lord “will hold” and whom He promises to “help” (Is. 41:13; cf. Heb. 2:18), so they need not “fear” (Is. 41:10Heb. 2:15; cf. 13:56). On Abraham and his descendants, see 6:15–17; 11:9; Rom. 4:11–189:78Gal. 3:29.

give aid. Another translation is “takes on” or “lays hold of,” as of “taking on” human nature (text note) in the Incarnation. Either way, the point is that the sort of incarnation described in v. 14 is determined by the sort of creatures whom God wills to save. These are human beings, and the eternal Word must be incarnated as a human being: “the Word became flesh” (John 1:14).

§ 2:17 He had to be made like His brethren. Only the One who had been tested in every way as we are could be the merciful High Priest (4:15; 5:2). Only the One who had responded to every test in perfect obedience could be the faithful High Priest, without sin (4:15; 7:26) and worthy to offer Himself as the unblemished sacrifice (9:14).

merciful and faithful High Priest. This echoes the prophecy that pronounced judgment on Eli’s house, of Aaron’s family, and the coming of a faithful High Priest who would minister forever (1 Sam. 2:35). The faithfulness (3:6) and mercy of Christ (5:2) are explained in what follows.

make propitiation for. This term means that He bore God’s wrath and curse that rested on “the people” who sinned (Rom. 3:2526). See “Christ the Mediator”at 1 Tim. 2:5.

§ 2:18 He Himself has suffered. See “The Humanity of Jesus”at 2 John 7. -- Reformation Study Bible-ESV by R C Sproul (Editor), Keith Mathison (Editor) [3]

Having therefore a High Priest, a great One, One who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us be holding fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who is not able to enter experientially into a fellow feeling with our infirmities, but one who has been tempted and tested in all points like as we are, without sin. Let us be coming therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, in order that we may procure mercy and find grace for seasonable help.New Testament An Expanded Translation by K.S.Wuest[6]











§ 4:14–16 The sobering thought of our complete exposure before God draws us to the merciful High Priest who, having been tempted, can help us in our weakness (themes announced in 2:17, 18). An exhortation to “hold fast our confession” (v. 14) caps the preceding section, and an invitation to approach God’s throne introduces the discussion of Christ as the merciful High Priest.

§ 4:14 passed through the heavens. Christ was raised, ascended, and sits at God’s right hand (8:1), where He ministers as our great and eternal High Priest (7:26; 9:11, 24).

the Son of God. See note 1:5 (cf. 5:5).

§ 4:15 in all points tempted. This is a vivid restatement of 2:17, 18. As temptation is again mentioned, the author is careful to add that Christ was “without sin” despite His knowledge of our weakness. See theological note “The Sinlessness of Jesus.”

§ 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly. Confident access to God is a priestly privilege reserved for those who have been purified from sin’s pollution by Jesus’ sacrifice (7:19; 10:19, 22), and so can offer sacrifices of thanksgiving pleasing to God (12:28; 13:15, 16). On the priestly privilege of Christian believers see Rom. 5:12Eph. 2:13–221 Pet. 2:4–10.

mercy … grace to help. Mercy addresses our need for forgiveness when we have succumbed to temptation, and grace brings timely support to sustain us in the midst of temptation (2:18).- Reformation Study Bible-ESV by R C Sproul (Editor), Keith Mathison (Editor) [7]

In answer to the question “Was Christ able not to sin, or not able to sin?” the Scripture teaches Christ was not able to sin. Since he possessed two natures (1 Th 4:16n), a human nature and a divine nature, which nature was in control? Logically, the divine nature must have been in control of the human nature. Since Jesus was both God (Jn +*20:29n) and man (Ph 2:7.1 Ti 2:5), and it is impossible for God to sin or to be tempted with evil (Ti 1:2n. Ja ✓1:13), Jesus could not sin, neither could he be tempted with evil, for there was nothing of our sinful nature in him to which Satan could appeal (Jn 14:30). Though he was tempted in all points like as we, yet this temptation was never to sin. His human nature was subject to weariness and hunger, and the suffering of death, but never sin. Had Jesus been able to sin while on earth in his human nature, but merely did not, then he is still able to sin in the human nature which he still possesses, and the divine plan of redemption is ever in jeopardy—a doctrine incompatible with Scripture. Thus the significance of the qualifying phrase “without sin” can be understood to teach Jesus not only did not sin, was able not to sin, but, possessed of a divine nature, could not sin. He 7:269:28g.

Of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. 20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. 21 And you shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. 22 There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you about all that I will give you in commandment for the people of Israel.
