But we see Jesus This phrase emphasizes the centrality of Jesus in the Christian faith. The Greek word for "see" (βλέπομεν, blepomen) implies not just physical sight but spiritual perception and understanding. In the context of Hebrews, this is a call to focus on Jesus amidst trials and uncertainties. Historically, the early Christians faced persecution, and this exhortation served as a reminder to keep their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith. who was made a little lower than the angels now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone (1) As to the meaning of the expression, "that he should taste death," etc.; (2) as to the true reading, as well as the meaning, of the phrase translated "by the grace of God." As to (1), the clause is introduced by ὅπως, followed by the subjunctive, ὅπως γεύσηται: and the construction of the sentence evidently connects it, not with ἠλαττωμένον, but with ἐστεφανωμένον It is, "Because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, in order that for [i.e. in behalf of] all he may taste of death." Now, the fact that the actual death was previous to the crowning suggests reference, not so much to it as to its permanent efficacy: and, further, the emphatic words are ὑπὲρ παντὸς, as shown by their position in the sentence; and thus the idea seems to be, "In order that for all his tasting of death may be availing." And he may even be regarded as still tasting of death after his crowning, in the sense of knowing its taste through his human experience, and so perfectly sympathizing with mortal man (cf. Hebrews 5:15, and below in this chapter, vers. 14, 15). It is a further question whether παντὸς should be here taken as masculine, as in the A.V., or, like the preceding πάντα, as neuter, in the sense of "all creation." The latter rendering seems in itself more natural, though" all mankind" must be conceived as the main idea in the writer's view. At the same time, it is to be remembered how the redemption is elsewhere spoken of as availing for creation generally, for the restitution of universal harmony (cf. Romans 8:19, etc.; Ephesians 1:10, 20, etc.). A further reason for understanding παντὸς in the wider sense will appear in our examination of the phrase next to be considered. . . .
