    subjecting all things under their feet.”

Now in subjecting all things to them, God[a] left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them,(A) but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower[b] than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God[c] he might taste death for everyone.(B)

10 It was fitting that God,[d] for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.(C) 11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[e] For this reason Jesus[f] is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,(D) 12 saying,

“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.”(E)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

“Here am I and the children whom God has given me.”(F)

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]
