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]

(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.”
