The Superiority of Christ over the Prophets

1 God-The Father, who at sundry times and in different manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Has in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Because of His Deity

4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, youi are my Son, this day have I begotten youi? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

6 And again, when he brings in the firstbegotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God-The Father worship him.

7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

8 But unto the Son [he says], You1s throne, O God-The Father, [is] forever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of youri kingdom.

9 youi have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God-The Father, [even] youri God-The Father, has anointed youi with the oil of gladness above youri fellows.

10 And, youi, Lord - Kurios, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of youri hands:

11 They shall perish; but youi remaine; and they all shall grow (become; advance) old as does a garment;

12 And as a vesture shall youi fold them up, and they shall be changed: but youi are the same, and youri years shall not fail.

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make youri enemies youri footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
