- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow - The knee should bow, or bend, in token of honor, or worship; that is, all people should adore him. This cannot mean merely that at the mention of the name of Jesses we should bow; nor is there any evidence that God requires this.

His human nature; herein he became like…Read the comment
