Hebrews 2:2-9

2For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,

3how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.

4God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him?

7You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor

8and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.

9But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
