Is the function of the phrase to bring out both the state of having been tested and the time of testing/temptation, saying that both knowing what it is to be tested and having made it through are reasons that Jesus can help those of us who are tested?Jonathan–Jonathan RobieR&δ Fellow, Software AGjonathan.robie at sagus.com

That is to say, todetermine the relationship between the the suffering and the testing mentioned here,we need to determine what suffering(s) of Jesus the author of Hebrews had in mind..α side note. Burton in his _Moods and Tenses_, p. 433, regards πειρασθεισ as anadverbial participle of means and renders the expression “he himself has suffered bybeing tested”. Don’t know if ι buy that.But in any case, ι will stand firm on the point that Heb. 2:18 has nothing to do withJesus experiencing the general “temptations” i.e., enticements, that all flesh isheir to, or that we find here a statement that is concerned to say that Jesus hasexperienced every temptation that **anyone** can or has experienced. As the contextand the echo of 2:18 in 4:15 shows, the intent of the author of Hebrews is to assertthat Jesus has been tested over **the specific issue** which the readers of Hebrewswere facing and which provoked the author of Hebrews to write to them. And this doesnot involves the readers chance experience of the vicissitudes of the humancondition, but their having been confronted with the possibility that their way offollowing God and living out the “confession” to which they had committed themselveswas νοτ the way of God. In other words, the issue is apostasy.Yours,Jeffrey–Jeffrey β. Gibson7423 ν. Sheridan Road #2AChicago, Illinois 60626e-mail jgibson000 at ameritech.net
