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. 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,

(S)“Behold, I and the children (T)God has given me.”

  1. Hebrews 2:11 Greek all are of one
  2. Hebrews 2:11 Or brothers and sisters. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, the plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) may refer either to brothers or to brothers and sisters; also verse 12

You gave them authority over all things.”[a]

Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority. What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone. 10 God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.

11 So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.[b] 12 For he said to God,

“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.
    I will praise you among your assembled people.”[c]

13 He also said,

“I will put my trust in him,”
    that is, “I and the children God has given me.”[d]
