Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 2:13

13 And again , I will put my trust in him: And again , Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me .

This is a further Proof, that Christ's sanctified Ones are his Brethren, his exercising himself in a necessary Work proper to that Brotherhood only. They are all of the Houshold of Faith, Gal. 6.10. Their Business is to believe in God. All who do so, are Brethren; Christ doth so, and so is a Brother to them; He and they rely on one and the same God and Father to both: He did believe, confide and rest on God, that he would help his Humanity to go through all his Works and Sufferings to the perfecting of that of Redemption. Some say he spake this in the Person of David in Psalm 18.2. because the 49th verse of it is applied to Christ by the Spirit in Rom. 15.4. But others think that Psalm is not so properly understood of Christ, and that these words are not found in the Septuagint, which the Apostle frequently useth as being most familiar with these Hebrews,—but that these Words of his trusting in God, and of his Children are to be found near together in Isa. 8.17, 18. which Chapter is a clear Prophecy of this God-Man the Redeemer, and punctually fulfilled by him on Earth. This seems most rationally to be the Place the Apostle refers as to both these Texts.

This is the third Proof, which tho it be literally Isaiah's Words, who complained how himself and the Children of God in his days were scorned by the World for cleaving to him, yet herein was he a Type of Christ, and in him was it eminently fulfilled: This the word Behold intimates, it being a matter of great weight and importance to be attended, to be considered and understood by the Church.

I and my Brethren, Children of the same heavenly Father, Iohn 11.52. and 20.17. 1 Iohn. 3.1. which my Father of free Grace chose and delivered on my Purchase, and whom he had fitted and wrought by his Spirit, to be brought home by him unto Glory, th[illegible: 1 letter] they were the Wonder and Contempt of this World, Iohn 17.2, 6, 8, 9, 11, 19, 22, 24.
