Hebrews 2:11 Context
9But wee see Iesus, who was made a little lower then the Angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that hee by the grace of God should taste death for euery man. 10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sonnes vnto glory, to make the Captaine of their saluation perfect through sufferings. 11For both hee that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to cal them brethren, 12Saying, I will declare thy Name vnto my brethren, in the midst of the Church will I sing praise vnto thee. 13And againe, I will put my trust in him: and againe, Behold, I, and the children which God hath giuen me.

Wesley's Notes for Hebrews 2:11
2:11 For - They are nearly related to each other. He that sanctifieth - Christ, #Heb 13:12|. And all they that are sanctified - That are brought to God; that draw near or come to him, which are synonymous terms. Are all of one - Partakers of one nature, from one parent, Adam.
People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 2:11
Heb 2:11 Both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified. He who makes men holy by purging them of their sins, and those who are made holy are all of one. Are made of one nature because he took our nature and suffered. Hence he is not ashamed to call them, all the saved, though they are mortals, by the name of brethren. This is done in the Hebrew Scriptures (Ps 22:22). The language quoted from the Psalm is ascribed to Christ, but is addressed to God. The point is that the speaker calls the worshipers "brethren".
