How preachers through history handled this text
21 public-domain excerpts on Hebrews 13, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The instructions and examples of ministers, who honourably and comfortably closed their testimony, should be particularly remembered by survivors. And though their ministers were some dead, others dying, yet the great Head and High Priest of the church, the Bishop of their souls, ever lives, and is ever the same. Christ is the same in the Old Testament day. as in the gospel day, and will be so to his people for ever, equally merciful, powerful, and all-sufficient. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Hebrews 13:7–15 (Public Domain)
