The Son Exalted Above Angels

For to which of the angels did He ever say:

(G)“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?

And again:

(H)“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?

But when He again brings (I)the firstborn into the world, He says:

(J)“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says:

(K)“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”

But to the Son He says:

(L)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A [e]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

but in these last days(A) he has spoken to us by his Son,(B) whom he appointed heir(C) of all things, and through whom(D) also he made the universe.(E) The Son is the radiance of God’s glory(F) and the exact representation of his being,(G) sustaining all things(H) by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins,(I) he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.(J) So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.(K)

“You are my Son;

Or again,

“I will be his Father,

And again, when God brings his firstborn(N) into the world,(O) he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[c](P)

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, (A)even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but (B)has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. (C)He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, (D)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, (E)but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when (F)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For (G)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have (H)life in Himself, 27 and (I)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, (J)because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will (K)hear His voice 29 (L)and come forth—(M)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,(A) even so the Son gives life(B) to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,(C) 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.(D)

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me(E) has eternal life(F) and will not be judged(G) but has crossed over from death to life.(H) 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(I) when the dead will hear(J) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life(K) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(L) because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(M) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.(N)
