Context Summary

Hebrews 13:14-25 - Praise, Prayer, And Peace
Notice that though the ancient sacrifices have been abolished, there is one which can never grow old-the sacrifice of praise. This incense must ever ascend from the heart-altar. And to this we must add the sacrifices of doing good and distributing our goods.
Perfection in the closing paragraph, Hebrews 13:21, means adjustment, the setting of a dislocated bone. We may be in the body of which Jesus is the Head, and yet be out of touch with Him. We need setting; and this is work which God will delegate to no angel, however exalted. He will do it Himself as tenderly and gently as possible, because He is the God of peace. Do you doubt it? Did He not bring the Shepherd to glory, and is He not able to bring the sheep also? Never rest until you are in living organic union with Jesus, that He may be able to work His will through you to your own great joy and for the hastening of the Kingdom [source]

Greek Commentary for Hebrews 13:19

That I may be restored to you the sooner [ινα ταχειον αποκαταστατω υμιν]
Purpose clause with ινα — hina and the first aorist passive subjunctive of αποκατιστημι — apokathistēmi an old double compound as in Matthew 12:13. What is meant by ταχειον — tacheion (John 13:27; John 20:4) we do not know, possibly sickness. See Hebrews 13:23 also for ταχειον — tacheion f0). [source]

John 13:27 Then entered Satan into him [τοτε εισηλτεν εις εκεινον ο Σατανας]
The only time the word Satan occurs in the Gospel. As he had done before (John 13:2; Luke 22:3) until Christ considered him a devil (John 6:70). This is the natural outcome of one who plays with the devil. That thou doest, do quickly Aorist active imperative of ποιεω — poieō “Do more quickly what thou art doing.” Ταχειον — Tacheion is comparative of ταχεως — tacheōs (John 11:31) and in N.T. only here, John 20:4; Hebrews 13:19, Hebrews 13:23. See the eagerness of Jesus for the passion in Luke 12:50. [source]
1 Thessalonians 2:17 The more abundantly [περισσοτέρως]
Rev. the more exceedingly. Paul uses this adverb very freely, and outside of his letters it appears only Hebrews 2:1; Hebrews 13:19. He is much given to the use of comparatives, and sometimes heaps them together: see Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 7:13; 2 Corinthians 4:17; Ephesians 3:20; Philemon 1:23. [source]
Hebrews 2:1 To give the more earnest heed [περισσοτέρως προσέξειν]
Lit. to give heed more abundantly. Προσέχειν togive heed, lit. to hold (the mind ) to. oP. The full phrase in Job 7:17. Mostly in Luke, Acts, and the Pastorals. See on 1 Timothy 1:4. Περισσοτέρως moreabundantly, in Hebrews only here and Hebrews 13:19; elsewhere only in Paul. [source]
Hebrews 13:23 Hath been set at liberty [απολελυμενον]
Perfect passive participle of απολυω — apoluō to set free, in indirect discourse after γινωσκετε — ginōskete Possibly from prison if he came to Rome at Paul‘s request (2 Timothy 4:11, 2 Timothy 4:21). Shortly Same comparative as in Hebrews 13:19, “sooner” than I expect (?). [source]
