Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to them who shall be heirs of salvation?
All Commentaries on Hebrews 1:14 Go To Hebrews 1
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
In what sense then does He become “the first-born among many brethren?” in what sense does He become “the first-born from the dead?” Assuredly this is plain, that because we are by birth flesh and blood, as the Scripture saith, “He Who for our sakes was born among us and was partaker of flesh and blood,”(Cf. Heb 1.14) wanting to change us from corruption to incorruption by the birth from above, the birth by water and the Spirit, Himself led the way in this birth, drawing down upon the water, by His own baptism, the Holy Spirit; so that in all things He became the first-born of those who are spiritually born again, and gave the name of brethren to those who partook in a birth like to His own by water and the Spirit.
