 31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
 38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
 39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
 40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. (Matt. 27:27‑31,38‑44)

Luke 23:11,35‑39• 11And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
 35And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
 36And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
 37And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
 38And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
 39And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. (Luke 23:11,35‑39)

1 Peter 4:14‑16• 14If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
 16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. (1 Peter 4:14‑16)

Heb. 1:3,13• 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

1 Peter 3:22• 22Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto 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.
