Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Heb 12:3

“For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.”

“For--justifying his exhortation, "Looking unto Jesus." consider--by way of comparison with yourselves, so the Greek. contradiction--unbelief, and every kind of opposition (Act 28:19). sinners--Sin assails us. Not sin, but sinners, contradicted Christ [BENGEL]. be wearied and faint--Greek, "lest ye weary fainting." Compare Isa 49:4-5, as a specimen of Jesus not being wearied out by the contradiction and strange unbelief of those among whom He labored, preaching as never man did, and exhibiting miracles wrought by His inherent power, as none else could do.”
