Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 13New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

But I especially urge you to pray: This is the first time in the letter to the Hebrews that Paul makes a personal request of his readers. He asks them to pray about his situation, knowing that heartfelt prayers offered in harmony with God’s will have great power. (2Co 1:8-11; see also Jas 5:16.) In his letter to Philemon, Paul expressed similar trust in the power of prayer.—See study note on Phm 22.
so that I may be restored to you the sooner: The Greek expression rendered “I may be restored to you” could be translated “I may be reunited with you.” Paul does not reveal why he was unable to visit his Hebrew fellow believers right away. Possibly, he was still imprisoned in Rome. Or if he had been released, perhaps such factors as sickness or lack of money prevented him from visiting. In any case, he asks the recipients of his letter to pray about his situation so that he would be able to rejoin them.—Compare study note on Phm 22.
