• In what follows Heb. 11:32, where names begin to disappear, we have the converse of the earlier order in our chapter. For examples of the power of faith are first given in Heb. 11:33-34, and the first clause of Heb. 11:35, while the patience of faith is celebrated thenceforward. The introductory "who" passes from those already mentioned down to the latest times of O.T. inspiration if not later still. (“Hebrews 11:32-36” by W. Kelly)
• In the closing verses the apostle refers to signal acts of faith to set forth the striking qualities of faith. First {v.33-34} He refers to incidents that emphasize the power of faith. (“Faith Overcoming the Present World: Hebrews 11:23-40” by H. Smith)
