Heb 2:5-12 It was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking Instead, someone has testified somewhere: What is man that you are mindful of him or the son of man that you care for him? You made him for a little while lower than the angels; subjecting all things under his feet In “subjecting” all things to him, he left nothing not “subject to him.” Yet at present we do not see “all things subject to him,” but we do see Jesus “crowned with glory and honor” because he suffered death, he who “for a little while” was made “lower than the angels,” that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone For it was fitting that he, for whom and through whom all things exist in bringing many children to glory, should make the leader to their salvation perfect through suffering. He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin. Therefore, he is not ashamed to call them “brothers” saying: I will proclaim your name to my brethren in the midst of the assembly I will praise you. ...

R. (see 7) You have given your Son rule over the works of your hands.

Mark 1. 21-28 "Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another,“What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee."
