JND Translation Notes

a
This word is difficult to render in English. It is a "leader," but it is more. It is used for one who begins and sets a matter on. The Greek word occurs four times in the New Testament, here and ch. 5.31; Heb. 2.10; 12.2. In Heb. 12.2 it means, "he began and finished the whole course"; "the origin" or "originator," though the word is harsh in connexion with life. The word is only used of our Lord.
