(A)You have put everything 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.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

But we do see Him who was (C)made [a]for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, (D)because of His suffering 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)originator of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both He who (M)sanctifies and those who (N)are [c]sanctified are all (O)from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them (P)brothers and sisters, 12 saying,

(Q)I will proclaim 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.”

and put everything under his feet.”[a]

Now when God[b] put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him. But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of[c] God he might experience[d] death for everyone.

10 It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering as part of his plan to glorify many children, 11 because both the one who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified all have the same Father.[e] That is why Jesus[f] is not ashamed to call them brothers 12 when he says, “I will announce your name to my brothers. I will praise you within the congregation.”[g] 13 And again, “I will trust him.”[h] And again, “I am here with the children God has given me.”[i]
