Hebrews 2:9-18

9But we do see Him who was 1made 2for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, 3because of the suffering of death 4crowned with glory and honor, so that 5by the grace of God He might 6taste death 7for everyone.

10For 8it was fitting for Him, 9for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to 10perfect the 11 12author of their salvation through sufferings. 11For both He who 13sanctifies and those who 14are 15sanctified are all 16from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them 17brethren, 12saying, “18I will proclaim Your name to My brethren, In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.” 13And again, “19I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “20Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14Therefore, since the children share in 21 22flesh and blood, 23He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that 24through death He might render powerless 25him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15and might free those who through 26fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16For assuredly He does not 27give help to angels, but He gives help to the 28descendant of Abraham. 17Therefore, He 29had 30to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might 31become a merciful and faithful 32high priest in 33things pertaining to God, to 34make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18For since He Himself was 35tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
