Hebrews 1:13

13 πρὸς τίνα δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἴρηκέν ποτε · Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου;

Hebrews 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 1:13

But to which of the angels said he at any time
That is, he never said to any of them in his council, or covenant; he never designed to give them any such honour, as hereafter expressed; he never promised it to them, or bestowed it on them; he never called up any of them to so high a place, or to such a dignity:

sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool;
yet this he said to his Son, ( Psalms 110:1 ) for to him, the Messiah, are they spoken, and have had their fulfilment in him: (See Gill on Matthew 22:44); and therefore he must be greater than the angels.

Hebrews 1:13 In-Context

11 αὐτοὶ ἀπολοῦνται, σὺ δὲ διαμένεις · καὶ πάντες ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσονται,
12 καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἑλίξεις αὐτούς, ὡς ἱμάτιον ⸃ καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται · σὺ δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ, καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν.
13 πρὸς τίνα δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἴρηκέν ποτε · Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου;
14 οὐχὶ πάντες εἰσὶν λειτουργικὰ πνεύματα εἰς διακονίαν ἀποστελλόμενα διὰ τοὺς μέλλοντας κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν;
