This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He that sanctifieth (ho hagiazōn). Present active articular participle of hagiazō. Jesus is the sanctifier (Heb 9:13.; Heb 13:12).
They that are sanctified (hoi hagiazomenoi). Present passive articular participle of hagiazō. It is a process here as in Heb 10:14, not a single act, though in Heb 10:10 the perfect passive indicative presents a completed state.
Of one (ex henos). Referring to God as the Father of Jesus and of the “many sons” above (Heb 2:10) and in harmony with Heb 2:14 below. Even before the incarnation Jesus had a kinship with men though we are not sons in the full sense that he is.
He is not ashamed (ouk epaischunetai). Present passive indicative of epaischunomai, old compound (Rom 1:16). Because of the common Father Jesus is not ashamed to own us as “brothers” (adelphous), unworthy sons though we be.
