This phrase emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and respecting church leadership and the community of believers. In the early Christian church, leaders were often elders or overseers responsible for guiding the spiritual and organizational aspects of the congregation. The term "saints" refers to all believers, highlighting the communal nature of the faith. This greeting reflects the unity and mutual respect that should exist within the body of Christ, as seen in other epistles like <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-12.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:12-13</a>, where Paul urges believers to respect those who work hard among them. The call to greet leaders and saints underscores the interconnectedness of the church, a theme prevalent throughout the New Testament.Those from Italy send you greetings. This phrase suggests a connection between the recipients of the letter and believers in Italy, possibly indicating that the letter was written from Italy or that there were Italian Christians with the author. This connection highlights the widespread nature of the early Christian movement and the bonds between different Christian communities. The mention of Italy may also reflect the presence of a significant Christian community in Rome, as seen in Paul's letter to the Romans. The greeting serves as a reminder of the global nature of the church and the shared faith that transcends geographical boundaries, fostering a sense of unity among believers across different regions.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/l/leaders.htm">Leaders</a> The term "leaders" refers to those who hold positions of authority and responsibility within the Christian community.

Christians are called to foster a spirit of love and community, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. <a href="/topical/g/global_church_perspective.htm">Global Church Perspective</a> The mention of Italy reminds us of the global nature of the church. Believers are part of a larger body that spans across nations and cultures, and they should be mindful of their connection to the worldwide Christian community. <a href="/topical/e/encouragement_and_fellowship.htm">Encouragement and Fellowship</a> Sending and receiving greetings is a form of encouragement and a way to strengthen bonds within the church. Christians are encouraged to actively engage in fellowship and build relationships with other believers.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_hebrews_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Hebrews 13</a> <a href="/q/who_wrote_hebrews.htm">Who is the author of the Book of Hebrews?</a> <a href="/q/how_do_believers_view_jesus'_delayed_return.htm">1 Thessalonians 3:13: Paul mentions the coming of Jesus with all his saints -- how do believers address this seemingly unfulfilled apocalyptic expectation after nearly two millennia?</a> <a href="/q/do_rev_4_4_elders_align_with_other_leaders.htm">How do the twenty-four elders from Revelation 4:4 align with or contradict other biblical notions of heavenly beings or leadership?</a> <a href="/q/who_is_apollo_quiboloy.htm">Who is Apollo Quiboloy's identity and role?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(24) That have the rule over you.--Better, that are your leaders: see <a href="/hebrews/13-7.htm" title="Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.">Hebrews 13:7</a>; <a href="/hebrews/13-17.htm" title="Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.">Hebrews 13:17</a>.They of Italy salute you.--These much discussed words are consistent with either of two hypotheses:--(1) That the writer is in Italy, and salutes "the Hebrews" in the name of the Christians of Italy: (2) That the writer is addressing a Church of Italy, and sends greeting from Christians who have their home in Italy, but are now with him. (See Introduction.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hebrews/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 24. - Salute all them that have the rule over you (τοὺς ἡγουμένους, as before), and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. The fact that no names are here mentioned, as is usual with St. Paul in sending salutations to Churches he was personally well acquainted with, leads us to infer that there had been no such close association, at any rate recently, between the writer and the readers in this case; or else that a circle of Churches in some locality is addressed. Nothing certain can be concluded as to the writer's whereabouts at the time of writing from the expression, "they of Italy (οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰταλίας)," though it seems to favor the idea, rather than otherwise, that he was in Italy at the time, possibly at Rome. For the phrase means simply "natives of Italy" (cf. <a href="/acts/10-23.htm">Acts 10:23</a>; <a href="/acts/10-38.htm">Acts 10:38</a>; <a href="/acts/12-1.htm">Acts 12:1</a>; <a href="/acts/17-13.htm">Acts 17:13</a>; <a href="/acts/21-27.htm">Acts 21:27</a>; <a href="/acts/18-13.htm">Acts 18:13</a>; all these being, we observe, expressions of St. Luke's); it by no means implies that they had left Italy. In fact, as Delitzsch observes, "if the author was then in Italy, and at the same time was not a native of Italy, he could not have selected a more appropriate designation for the Italian Christians." The Epistle is concluded by St. Paul's accustomed words, which, with some variations, seem to have been appended to all his letters as his authenticating autograph (see <a href="/2_thessalonians/3.htm">2 Thessalonians 3</a>, etc.) - <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/13-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Greet Ἀσπάσασθε (Aspasasthe) Verb - Aorist Imperative Middle - 2nd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_782.htm">Strong's 782: </a> To greet, salute, pay my respects to, welcome.
