Hebrews 2:5-14

Jesus Made Fully Human 5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him?

7You made them a little Or them for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor

So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. The Greek word for brothers and sisters (adelphoi) refers here to believers, both men and women, as part of God’s family; also in verse 12; and in 3:1, 12; 10:19; 13:22.

12He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.” Psalm 22:22

13And again, “I will put my trust in him.” Isaiah 8:17 And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.” Isaiah 8:18 14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—
