Hebrews 2:6
Compare all
4 aGod also bearing witness bboth with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and cgifts of the Holy Spirit, daccording to His own will?  

The Son Made Lower than Angels

5 For He has not put athe world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.  
6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:
a“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him? 
7 You have made him1 a little lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
1And set him over the works of Your hands. 
8 aYou have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now bwe do not yet see all things put under him.  
9 But we see Jesus, awho was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death bcrowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death cfor everyone.  

Bringing Many Sons to Glory

10 For it was fitting for Him, afor whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation bperfect through sufferings.  
11 For aboth He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified bare all of one, for which reason cHe is not ashamed to call them brethren,  
12 saying:
a“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”  
13 And again:
a“I will put My trust in Him.” And again:
b“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”  
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He aHimself likewise shared in the same, bthat through death He might destroy him who had the power of cdeath, that is, the devil,  
15 and release those who athrough fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Hebrews 2:6

But one somewhere (de pou tiv). See Hebrews 4:4 for a like indefinite quotation. Philo uses this "literary mannerism" (Moffatt). He quotes Psalms 8:5-7 and extends here to Hebrews 2:8.

Hath testified (diemarturato). First aorist middle indicative of diamarturomai, old verb to testify vigorously (Acts 2:40).

What (Ti). Neuter, not masculine tiv (who). The insignificance of man is implied.

The son of man (uiov anqrwpou). Not o uiov tou anqrwpou which Jesus used so often about himself, but literally here "son of man" like the same words so often in Ezekiel, without Messianic meaning here.

Visited (episkepth). Second person singular present indicative middle of episkeptomai, old verb to look upon, to look after, to go to see (Matthew 25:36), from which verb episcopov, overseer, bishop, comes.
