Jesus Was Made Like His Brothers

5God has not put angels in charge of the world that is going to come. We are talking about that world. 6There is a place where someone has given witness to it. He said,

“What is a human being that you think about him?

What is the son of man that you take care of him?

7You made him a little lower than the angels.

You placed on him a crown of glory and honor.

8You have put everything under his control.”

So God has put everything under him. Everything is under his control.

We do not now see everything under his control. 9But we do see Jesus already given a crown of glory and honor. He was made a little lower than the angels. He suffered death. By the grace of God, he tasted death for everyone. That is why he was given his crown.

10God has made everything. He has acted in exactly the right way. He is bringing his many sons and daughters to share in his glory. To do so, he has made the One who saved them perfect because of his sufferings.

11The One who makes people holy and the people he makes holy belong to the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. 12He says,

“I will announce your name to my brothers and sisters.

I will sing your praises among those who worship you.”

13Again he says,

“I will put my trust in him.”

And again he says,

“Here I am. Here are the children God has given me.”
