This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
25. Ἡ χάρις μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν. This is one of the shorter forms of final conclusion found in Col 4:18; 1Ti 6:21; 2Ti 4:22; Tit 3:15.
The superscription “Written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy” is wholly without authority, though found in K and some versions. It contradicts the obvious inference suggested by Heb 13:23-24. We have no clue to the bearer of the Epistle, or the local community for which it was primarily intended, or the effect which it produced. But it would scarcely be possible to suppose that such a composition did not have a powerful influence in checking all tendency to retrograde into Judaism from the deeper and far more inestimable blessings of the New Covenant. The Manuscripts א and C have only “To the Hebrews.” A has “It was written to the Hebrews from Rome.”
