Line 4:
Line 4: − Hebrews 10:12 directly identifies the author himself ("this one") as Jesus, but most translations change the meaning of "this one" to something else in order to avoid admitting that Jesus wrote this. In Hebrews 13:19, the author urges the audience to [[prayer|pray]] "in order that I may be restored to you the sooner."<ref>ESV quoted here.</ref>+
Epistle to the Hebrews (view source)
Revision as of 22:10, February 11, 2016
, 22:10, February 11, 2016see Talk:Epistle_to_the_Hebrews_(Translated)#Hebrews_10:12
The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] is the nineteenth book of the [[New Testament]], and one of the greatest mysteries in all of intellectual history: the authorship of this brilliant work is unknown. It is not a letter to the Hebrews, but a detailed explanation to everyone of the reasons behind Jesus's life and [[Passion of Christ|Passion]], and how [[God]] did not fail to intervene. Unlike the actual letters in the New Testament, this book is not introduced by the name of its author. Its title of "Hebrews" is itself a misnomer, almost certainly added later, as the explanation in the book is plainly for everyone.

This Epistle was likely written within months or even days of Jesus's [[Resurrection]], because it refers to worship practices under the old covenant in the present tense (Hebrews 8:4-5, 10:1-3).
