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 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

12 As a mantle you will roll them up. And they will be changed. But you are the same. Your years will not fail."

13 But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

14 Aren't they all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
