Hebrews 4:2

4:2 For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in ¹  with those who heard it in faith. ² 

Hebrews 5:5

5:5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, ³  who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,” ⁴ 

Hebrews 9:24

9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ⁵  of the true sanctuary ⁶  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

[4:2]  ¹ tn Or “they were not united.”

[4:2]  ² tc A few mss (א and a few versional witnesses) have the nominative singular participle συγκεκερασμένος (sunkekerasmeno", “since it [the message] was not combined with faith by those who heard it”), a reading that refers back to the ὁ λόγος (Jo logo", “the message”). There are a few other variants here (e.g., συγκεκεραμμένοι [sunkekerammenoi] in 104, συγκεκεραμένους [sunkekeramenou"] in 1881 Ï), but the accusative plural participle συγκεκερασμένους (sunkekerasmenou"), found in Ì^13vid,46 A B C D* Ψ 0243 0278 33 81 1739 2464 pc, has by far the best external credentials. This participle agrees with the previous ἐκείνους (ekeinou", “those”), a more difficult construction grammatically than the nominative singular. Thus, both on external and internal grounds, συγκεκερασμένους is preferred.

[5:5]  ³ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “I have begotten you”; see Heb 1:5.

[9:24]  ⁶ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.
