 41And in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
 42He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.
 43He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will have him. For he said, I am Son of God.
 44And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him. (Matt. 27:27‑31,38‑44)

Mark 9:12• 12And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought: (Mark 9:12)

Luke 23:11,35‑39• 11And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.
 35And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also with them sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.
 36And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,
 37and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
 38And there was also an inscription written over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.
 39Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us. (Luke 23:11,35‑39)

 15Let none of you suffer indeed as murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as overseer of other people's matters;
 16but if as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name. (1 Peter 4:14‑16)

Heb. 1:3,13• 3who being the effulgence of his glory and the expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made by himself the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,
 13But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet? (Heb. 1:3,13)

1 Peter 3:22• 22who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him. (1 Peter 3:22)
• It is in vain to trust our moral power. We must look away, from everyone and everything without or within, to Him Who is as mighty to deliver as He graciously waits on our need. Power is not in the first man but in the Second (“Hebrews 12:1-3” by W. Kelly)
• He is viewed as the chief and perfecter in the race of faith in its entirety. In that race let us run. (“Hebrews 12:1-3” by W. Kelly)
• Compare Matt. 11 at the end, and John 13:31-32; 14, 17, as testimony of the joy in His view; but love, yea the Father's glory, was His motive, however the future joy cheered Him along the way. (“Hebrews 12:1-3” by W. Kelly)
• The joy and the rewards that are set before us are never the motives of the walk of faith-we know this well with regard to Christ, but it is not the less true in our own case-they are the encouragement of those who walk in it. (“Hebrews 12” by J.N. Darby)
• When looking at Jesus, the new man is active; there is a new object, which unburdens and detaches us from every other by means of a new affection which has its place in a new nature: and in Jesus Himself, to whom we look, there is a positive power which sets us free. (“Hebrews 12” by J.N. Darby)
• It is to be noted how often in this epistle the Lord is presented by His personal Name, Jesus. (See Heb. 2:9; 4:14; 6:20; 10:19; 12:2; 13:12.) The reason, apparently, is to impress us with the great fact that the One who is crowned with glory and honor—who is our Apostle and High Priest—is the same One who has been here as a lowly Man amongst men. (“God's Means to Keep Us in the Path of Faith: Hebrews 12” by H. Smith)
• “the leader and completer of our faith.” The apostle does not imagine that, having taken the path outside the camp, we shall be able to keep the path in our own strength. (“God's Means to Keep Us in the Path of Faith: Hebrews 12” by H. Smith)
• “Looking unto Jesus” we see One who has trodden every step of the path and reached the goal. The Old Testament worthies are shining examples, but they are neither “leaders” nor “completers”; Jesus is both. In His path of suffering and shame He was sustained by the joy of that which lay before Him. (“God's Means to Keep Us in the Path of Faith: Hebrews 12” by H. Smith)
• “The author and finisher of our faith.” This has nothing to do with “our” faith but solely that of our perfect Exemplar in His entire course down here. (“Help on Hard Verses” by A.C. Brown)

WK Translation Notes

a
Or, "the."
b
The Revisers say "hath sat down" for "kekathiken," having given "sat down" for the "ekathisen" in 1:3, 8:1, 10:12. The KJV had said "is set" in 8:1 as well as in the passage before us, so that they do not seem to have distinguished on principle.
