Hebrews 2:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 2:9

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.
