Hebrews 2:13

King James Version (1769)

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

Misinterpretations of Hebrews 2:13 often claim it refers to Jesus having literal biological children, ignoring the prophetic quotation from Isaiah applied messianically to Christ and His spiritual offspring—the believers; others wrongly limit the 'children' to ethnic Israelites, overlooking the universal scope of salvation in Hebrews, or detach it from the context of Jesus' humanity and high priesthood, reducing it to a mere statement of personal faith without its redemptive purpose.

Truth

Hebrews 2:13 quotes Isaiah 8:17-18 to affirm Jesus Christ's full incarnation and solidarity with humanity, declaring His trust in God the Father while identifying believers as the 'children' God has given Him, emphasizing that through His shared human experience, including suffering and death, Jesus perfects salvation for those entrusted to Him as brothers and sisters in God's family.
