Hebrews 2:9

Context
2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, 1  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, 2  so that by God’s grace he would experience 3  death on behalf of everyone.

1 tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”

2 tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

3 tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).
