6 But G1161 one G5100 in a certain place G4225 testified, G1263 saying, G3004 What G5101 is G2076 man, G444 that G3754 thou art mindful G3403 of him? G846 or G2228 the son G5207 of man, G444 that G3754 thou visitest G1980 him? G846
LORD, H3068 what is man, H120 that thou takest knowledge H3045 of him! or the son H1121 of man, H582 that thou makest account H2803 of him!
What is man, H582 that thou art mindful H2142 of him? and the son H1121 of man, H120 that thou visitest H6485 him? For thou hast made him a little H4592 lower H2637 than the angels, H430 and hast crowned H5849 him with glory H3519 and honour. H1926 Thou madest him to have dominion H4910 over the works H4639 of thy hands; H3027 thou hast put H7896 all things under his feet: H7272 All sheep H6792 and oxen, H504 yea, and the beasts H929 of the field; H7704 The fowl H6833 of the air, H8064 and the fish H1709 of the sea, H3220 and whatsoever passeth through H5674 the paths H734 of the seas. H3220
How much less man, H582 that is a worm? H7415 and the son H1121 of man, H120 which is a worm? H8438
And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto his brethren, H251 I die: H4191 and God H430 will surely H6485 visit H6485 you, and bring you out H5927 of this land H776 unto the land H776 which he sware H7650 to Abraham, H85 to Isaac, H3327 and to Jacob. H3290
All nations H1471 before him are as nothing; and they are counted H2803 to him less than nothing, H657 and vanity. H8414
And G1161 there came G2983 a fear G5401 on all: G537 and G2532 they glorified G1392 God, G2316 saying, G3004 That G3754 a great G3173 prophet G4396 is risen up G1453 among G1722 us; G2254 and, G2532 That G3754 God G2316 hath visited G1980 his G846 people. G2992
As G2531 he saith G3004 also G2532 in G1722 another G2087 place, Thou G4771 art a priest G2409 for G1519 ever G165 after G2596 the order G5010 of Melchisedec. G3198
Searching G2045 what, G1519 G5101 or G2228 what manner G4169 of time G2540 the Spirit G4151 of Christ G5547 which G3588 was in G1722 them G846 did signify, G1213 when it testified beforehand G4303 the sufferings G3804 of G1519 Christ, G5547 and G2532 the glory G1391 that should follow. G3326 G5023

Commentary on Hebrews 2 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 2
In this chapter the apostle,
Hbr 2:1-4
The apostle proceeds in the plain profitable method of doctrine, reason, and use, through this epistle. Here we have the application of the truths before asserted and proved; this is brought in by the illative particle therefore, with which this chapter begins, and which shows its connection with the former, where the apostle having proved Christ to be superior to the angels by whose ministry the law was given, and therefore that the gospel dispensation must be more excellent than the legal, he now comes to apply this doctrine both by way of exhortation and argument.
Hbr 2:5-9
The apostle, having made this serious application of the doctrine of the personal excellency of Christ above the angels, now returns to that pleasant subject again, and pursues it further (v. 5): For to the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
Hbr 2:10-13
Having mentioned the death of Christ, the apostle here proceeds to prevent and remove the scandal of the cross; and this he does by showing both how it became God that Christ should suffer and how much man should be benefited by those sufferings.
Hbr 2:14-18
Here the apostle proceeds to assert the incarnation of Christ, as taking upon him not the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham; and he shows the reason and design of his so doing.
