Hebrews 1

²⁰Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.

²¹For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

²⁸And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

⁶He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.

⁷But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.

²⁷And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

¹⁰Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,

¹¹trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

²And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.

³“I am God,” He said, “the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.

³Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

¹⁶For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

¹⁷He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

⁶yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

¹⁴The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

²⁰He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.

¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

¹⁵The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

¹⁶For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

¹¹“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and were created.”

⁹Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.

¹⁴The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

⁴The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

¹²But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

²¹far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

⁹Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

²²who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.

⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

¹¹Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne, and the living creatures and the elders. And their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.

¹²In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

⁷and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels

⁷I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the Lord: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

³³He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’

⁵So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”

¹⁴I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.

¹³I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.

¹⁰He is the one who will build a house for My Name. He will be My son, and I will be his Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

⁷All worshipers of images are put to shame—those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

⁴³Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.

²²who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.

¹⁸And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.

¹⁵The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

¹⁴The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

⁴He makes the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.

¹⁴Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

¹⁷Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

¹¹As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.

¹³In the midst of the living creatures was the appearance of glowing coals of fire, or of torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.

¹⁴The creatures were darting back and forth as quickly as flashes of lightning.

⁵And the angel told me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth from their station before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁷You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

⁶For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

⁷Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this.

⁵Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land.

⁶In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.

⁵Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.

²⁰And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

³⁰I and the Father are one.”

⁷You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

⁵You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

³to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹The Spirit of the Lord God is on Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,

¹³Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

²⁵In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

²⁶They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on.

¹In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

²He was with God in the beginning.

¹⁷“Oh, Lord God! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!

¹³Surely My own hand founded the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand up together.

³When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

⁴what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

⁶Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.

³¹Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

³³Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

³⁵Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

⁴All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.

¹Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

²⁶They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on.

²⁷But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.

⁸Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

¹⁷Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.

⁵⁸“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

¹⁴God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

⁴For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.

¹A Psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

³⁶Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

⁴⁴‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

¹²But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

¹³Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,

²⁵For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

²⁶The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

³⁴For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

³⁵until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

⁷The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.

²⁰Bless the Lord, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

²¹Bless the Lord, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

¹¹For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

¹²They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

²²My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O king.”

¹⁰See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.

²³For just last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me
