Hebrews 2:8-13
English Standard Version
8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, (A)we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him (B)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, (C)crowned with glory and honor (D)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might (E)taste death (F)for everyone.
10 For it (G)was fitting that he, (H)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (I)to glory, should make the (J)founder of their salvation (K)perfect through suffering. 11 For (L)he who sanctifies and (M)those who are sanctified (N)all have one source.[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (O)brothers,[b] 12 saying,
(P)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the (Q)congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
(R)“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,

Hebrews 2:8-13

8 You put everything under their control.[a]
When he puts everything under their control, he doesn’t leave anything out of control. But right now, we don’t see everything under their control yet. 9 However, we do see the one who was made lower in order than the angels for a little while—it’s Jesus! He’s the one who is now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of his death. He suffered death so that he could taste death for everyone through God’s grace.
Qualified to be a high priest
10 It was appropriate for God, for whom and through whom everything exists, to use experiences of suffering to make perfect the pioneer of salvation. This salvation belongs to many sons and daughters whom he’s leading to glory. 11 This is because the one who makes people holy and the people who are being made holy all come from one source. That is why Jesus isn’t ashamed to call them brothers and sisters when he says,
12 I will publicly announce your name to my brothers and sisters.
I will praise you in the middle of the assembly.[b]
13 He also says,
I will rely on him.[c]
And also,
Here I am with the children whom God has given to me.[d]

In putting everything under them,[c] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[d] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[e] 9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(B) because he suffered death,(C) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(D)
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(E) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(F) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(G) and those who are made holy(H) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[f](I) 12 He says,
“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[g](J)

And again he says,
