Hebrews 2:9-18

9But we do see Jesus —  made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace he might taste death for everyone —  crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death.

10For in bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God — for whom and through whom all things exist — should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,

12saying: I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters; I will sing hymns to you in the congregation.

13Again, I will trust in him. And again, Here I am with the children God gave me.

14Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death — that is, the devil  —

15and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.

16For it is clear that he does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring.

17Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
