Hebrews 2:14

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, etc..] By the children are meant, not the children of this world, or the men of it; nor the children of the flesh, or Abraham's natural seed; nor visible professors of religion; nor the apostles of Christ only; but all the children of God, the children given to Christ; all the sons that are brought to glory: these “are partakers of flesh and blood”; of human nature, which is common to them all, and which is subject to infirmity and mortality; and the sense is, that they are frail mortal men: and this being their state and case, he also himself took part of the same; Christ became man also, or assumed an human nature like…”

“He who has thus been shown to be the "Captain (Greek, 'Leader') of salvation" to the "many sons," by trusting and suffering like them, must therefore become man like them, in order that His death may be efficacious for them [ALFORD]. the children--before mentioned (Heb 2:13); those existing in His eternal purpose, though not in actual being. are partakers of--literally, "have (in His purpose) been partakers" all in common. flesh and blood--Greek oldest manuscripts have "blood and flesh." The inner and more important element, the blood, as the more immediate vehicle of the soul, stands before the more palpable element, the flesh; also, with reference to Christ's blood-shedding with a view to…”

“Forasmuch then - Since; or because. As the children - Those who were to become the adopted children of God; or who were to sustain that relation to him. Are partakers of flesh and blood - Have a human and not an angelic nature. Since they are men, he became a man. There was a fitness or propriety that he should partake of their nature; see the 1 Corinthians 15:50 note; Matthew 16:17 note. He also himself, ... - He also became a man, or partook of the same nature with them; see the notes at John 1:14. That through death - By dying. It is implied here: (1)That the work which he undertook of destroying him that had the power of death, was to be accomplished by “his own dying;” and, (2)That in…”

“Since then these children partake of flesh and blood - Of human nature with all its infirmities. He also in like manner took part of the same; that through his own death he might destroy the tyranny of him that had, by God's permission, the power of death with regard to the ungodly. Death is the devil's servant and serjeant, delivering to him those whom he seizes in sin. That is, the devil - The power was manifest to all; but who exerted it, they saw not. Hebrews 2:15”

“2:14-15 The death of the Son of God as a sacrifice for sin served to break the power of the devil: It made the devil’s power of death ineffective (1 Cor 15:56). • Philo, a first-century Jewish philosopher, wrote that “nothing is so calculated to enslave the mind as fearing death” (Philo, That Every Good Person Is Free 3.22). Through his sacrificial death, Christ set free those who were slaves to the fear of dying.”
