For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 11. For both he who sanctifieth, (that is our Redeemer, who sanctifieth, or has obtained sanctification for all, by sacrificing himself on the cross) and they who are sanctified, are all of one; have the same human nature, and are from the same first parent Adam, whose Son, (Christ) as man, was; on which account he calls men his brethren. See John 20:17 and Psalm 21:23 in which is a clear prediction of Christ’s sufferings, where it is said: I will declare thy name to my brethren, and so forth Witham.
The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”
