Bible verse
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
Hebrews 2:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Hebrews 2.
5 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6 But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor
8 and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
11 For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
12 He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”
13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”
