Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Book of Hebrews Chapter 2 - Read Chapter 2:11 - [In Context ]The One (Jesus) who makes people holy F12 and those people who are made holy are from the same family. So he (Jesus) is not ashamed to call those people his brothers and sisters.
2:12 - [In Context ]Jesus says, "God, I will tell my brothers {and sisters} about you. Before all your people I will sing your praises." R9
2:13 - [In Context ]He also says, "I will trust in God." R10 And he says, "I am here. And with me are the children that God has given me." R11
2:14 - [In Context ]Those children are people with physical bodies. So Jesus himself became like those people and had the same experiences people have. Jesus did this so that, by dying, he could destroy the one who has the power of death. That one is the devil.
2:15 - [In Context ]Jesus became like those people and died so that he could free them. They were like slaves all their lives because of their fear of death.
FOOTNOTES: F12: holy God's people are holy because they are made pure through Christ and belong only to God.
