"But we see Jesus, Who for a short time was made less than the angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and hnor, so that He, by the grace of God, should taste death for everyone. For it was becoming to Him, because of Whom are all things and by means of Whom are all things, bringing many sons to glory, to have perfected the originator of their salvation through sufferings. For both He Who sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, "I will announce Thy name to My brethren, in the midst of the church will I hymn Thee"; and again, "I will trust in Him"; and again, "Behold, I and the children whom God gave Me." Since then the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He also Himself in like manner partook of the same, in order that through death He might bring to nought the one who hath the power of death, that is, the devil, and might set free those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For surely He taketh not hold of the nature of the angels, but He taketh hold of the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like His brethren, that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, in order to be made an expiation for the sins of the people."
