Hebrews 2:7-12

7You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

8You put everything under his control.” When God put everything under his Son’s control, nothing was left out. However, at the present time we still don’t see everything under his Son’s control.

9Jesus was made a little lower than the angels, but we see him crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death. Through God’s kindness  he died on behalf of everyone.

10God is the one for whom and through whom everything exists. Therefore, while God was bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was the right time to bring Jesus, the source of their salvation, to the end of his work through suffering.

11Jesus, who makes people holy, and all those who are made holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus isn’t ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.

12He says, “I will tell my people about your name. I will praise you within the congregation.”
