Hello My Name is Jesus: Get to know Jesus beyond the Gospels. An in depth of Jesus with a jewish perspective. A series on the book of Hebrews.

2. Hebrews 1
1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers
in the prophets in many portions and in many
ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in
His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things,
through whom also He made the world. 3 And
He is the radiance of His glory and the exact
representation of His nature, and upholds all
things by the word of His power. When He had
made purification of sins, He sat down at the
right hand of the Majesty on high,

3. 4 having become as much better than the
angels, as He has inherited a more excellent
name than they. 5 For to which of the angels
did He ever say, “YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE
BEGOTTEN YOU”? And again, “I WILL BE A FATHER
TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME”? 6 And
when He again brings the firstborn into the
world, He says, “AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD
WORSHIP HIM.” 7 And of the angels He says,
“WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS
A FLAME OF FIRE.” 8 But of the Son He says,
“YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER,

4. AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS
KINGDOM. 9 “YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD,
HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS
ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS.” 10 And, “YOU, LORD, IN
THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH,
AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;
11 THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL
WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT, 12 AND LIKE A
MANTLE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP; LIKE A GARMENT
THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED. BUT YOU ARE THE
SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END.”

5. 13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,
“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES
A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET”? 14 Are they not all
ministering spirits, sent out to render service
for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

8. First paragraph
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the
prophets in many portions and in many ways, in
these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom
He appointed heir of all things, through whom
also He made the world. And He is the radiance
of His glory and the exact representation of His
nature, and upholds all things by the word of His
power. When He had made purification of sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on
high, having become as much better than the
angels, as He has inherited a more excellent
name than they.

13. We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy universal and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
