Hebrews 2:4

συνεπιμαρτυροῦντος τοῦ θεοῦ, “God bearing witness with them”; the supernatural witness coincided with the human.

σημείοις τε καὶ τέρασιν καὶ ποικίλαις δυνάμεσιν. “Signs” to shew that there was a power behind their witness; “portents” to awaken the feeling of astonishment, and so arouse interest; and various “powers.” These are alluded to, or recorded, in Mark 16:20; Acts 2:43; Acts 19:11. St Paul himself appealed to his own “mighty signs and wonders” (Romans 15:18-19; 1 Corinthians 2:4).

καὶ πνέυματος ἁγίου μερισμοῖς, “distributions” (Hebrews 4:12 “dividing”).

κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ θέλησιν, “according to His own will.” The phrase applies only to this clause—the gifts which the Holy Spirit distributes as He wills (1 Corinthians 7:17; 1 Corinthians 12:11; Romans 12:3). θέλησις is not used in Attic Greek. Pollux v. 165 ἡ δὲ θέλησις ἰδιωτικόν.
