Hebrews 1
1
The Nature of the Son
1Long ago God spoke # Jn 9:29; Heb 2:2-3 to the fathers by the prophets # 2Kg 17:13; 21:10; 24:2; Jr 7:25; 26:5; 29:19; 35:15; 44:4; Ezk 38:17; Dn 9:6; Hs 12:10; Zch 1:6; 8:9; Mt 2:23; Lk 1:70; 24:44; Ac 2:30; 3:21,24 at different times and in different ways. # Nm 12:6,8; Jl 2:28 2In these last days, # Ac 2:17; Gl 4:4; 2Tm 3:1; 2Pt 3:3; Jd 18 He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things # Jr 3:19; 10:16; Zch 8:12 and made the universe # Lit ages # Ps 2:8; Jn 1:3; Col 1:16; Rv 4:11 through Him. 3The Son is the radiance # Or reflection of God’s glory and the exact expression # Or representation, or copy, or reproduction of His nature, # 2Co 4:4 sustaining all things by His powerful word. # Ps 33:6 After making purification for sins, # Other mss read for our sins by Himself He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. # Or He sat down on high at the right hand of the Majesty # Mt 22:44; Mk 16:19; Col 1:17 4So He became higher in rank than the angels, just as the name He inherited is superior to theirs. # Eph 1:21; Php 2:9
The Son Superior to Angels
5For to which of the angels did He ever say, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, # Or have begotten You # Ps 2:7 or again, I will be His Father, and He will be My Son? # 2Sm 7:14; Ps 2:7; Ac 13:33 # 2Sm 7:14; 1Ch 17:13 6When He again # Or And again, when He brings His firstborn into the world, # Col 1:15,18; Rv 1:5 He says, And all God’s angels must worship Him. # Dt 32:43; Ps 97:7 # Dt 32:43 LXX; Ps 97:7 7And about the angels He says:
He makes His angels winds, # Or spirits
and His servants # Or ministers a fiery flame, # Ps 104:4 # Ps 104:4
8but to # Or about the Son:
Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of Your kingdom
is a scepter of justice. # Ps 45:6-7
9You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, Your God,
has anointed You
with the oil of joy # Is 61:1,3; Php 2:9
rather than Your companions. # Or associates # Ps 45:6-7
10And:
In the beginning, Lord,
You established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of Your hands; # Ps 102:25
11they will perish, but You remain.
They will all wear out like clothing; # Is 50:9; 51:6
12You will roll them up like a cloak, # Other mss omit like a cloak
and they will be changed like a robe.
But You are the same,
and Your years will never end. # Ps 102:26-27; Heb 13:8 # Ps 102:25-27
13Now to which of the angels has He ever said:
Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool? # Or enemies a footstool for Your feet # Jos 10:24; Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44; Mk 12:36; Ac 2:34-35; Heb 10:13 # Ps 110:1
14Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation? # Ps 103:20; Mt 18:10; Heb 5:9

Hebrews 1
1
God Has Spoken by His Son
1#Joel 2:28; Ge 3:15God, who at various times and in diverse ways spoke long ago to the fathers through the prophets, 2#Mt 28:18; Jn 1:3has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the world. 3#Mk 16:19; 2Co 4:4He is the brightness of His glory, the express image of Himself, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had by Himself purged our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 4#Eph 1:21He was made so much better than the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
The Son Superior to Angels
5#2Sa 7:14; Ps 2:7For to which of the angels did He at any time say:
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father”#–6 Pr 3:11–12.?
Or again,
“I will be a Father to Him,
and He shall be a Son to Me”#–7 Ps 40:6–8.?
6#Ps 97:7; Dt 32:43And again, when He brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”#Ps 110:4.
7#Ps 104:4Of the angels He says:
“He makes His angels spirits,
and His servants a flame of fire.”#–11 Ps 95:7–11.
8#Ps 45:6–7; Isa 7:14But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, lasts forever and ever;
a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.#Ps 45:6.
9#Isa 61:1; 61:3 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”#Ps 45:7; Isa 61:1, 3.
10#Ps 102:25–27And,
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the works of Your hands.
11#Isa 34:4; 51:6 They will perish, but You remain;
and they all will wear out like a garment;
12#Heb 13:8 as a cloak You will fold them up,
and they will be changed.
But You are the same,
and Your years will not end.”
13#Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44But to which of the angels did He at any time say:
“Sit at My right hand,
until I make Your enemies
Your footstool”#Ps 110:1.?
14#Ps 34:7; Mt 18:10Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to minister to those who will inherit salvation?
