(A)You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”

For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now (B)we do not yet see all things subjected to him. But we do see Him who was (C)made [a]for a little while lower than the angels—Jesus, (D)because of the suffering of death (E)crowned with glory and honor, so that (F)by the grace of God He might (G)taste death (H)for everyone.

10 For (I)it was fitting for Him, (J)for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to (K)perfect the [b](L)author of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both He who (M)sanctifies and those who (N)are being sanctified are all (O)of One; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them (P)brothers, 12 saying,

(Q)I will recount Your name to My brothers,
In the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praise.”

13 And again,

(R)I will put My trust in Him.”

And again,

(S)Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

        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. 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.

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]
