Hebrews 2:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 He also says this:
‘I will trust God completely.’
He says this too:
‘I stand here with the children that God has given me.’[a]
14 So, those people who become God's children are human. They have human bodies. Because of that, Jesus himself became human like us. In that way, when he died he was able to destroy the Devil. It is the Devil who has power over death. 15 Before, we were like slaves all our lives because we were afraid of death. But now, Jesus' death makes us free.

- 2:13 These words are in Isaiah 8:17-18. The writer takes all these words from the Old Testament as if Jesus is speaking them. They show that Jesus thinks about us as his family. He became human, like us. As a man, Jesus trusted God. He believed that God would bring him safely through great trouble and death. He believed that, after his death, God would bring him back to heaven.

13 And again,
And again he says,
14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(C) he too shared in their humanity(D) so that by his death he might break the power(E) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(F)— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(G) of death.
