Context — The Supremacy of Christgenerated

7You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor
8and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything 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.
10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

Hebrews 2:8 discusses God's act of placing everything under the authority of Christ. This passage emphasizes the current state of the world, where not all things are visibly subject to Him, highlighting the tension between divine authority and human experience. The context builds on the previous verses that describe Christ's exalted position and His role in salvation, as seen in Hebrews 2:9.

The Key Word ὑποτάξαι, hupotassōgenerated

The verb ὑποτάσσω (hupotassō) means to subject or to place under authority. It is derived from the prefix ὑπό (under) and the root τάσσω (to arrange). This word conveys a sense of order and obedience, indicating that all things have been placed under the control of Christ.

In this verse, the aorist tense indicates a completed action, showing that God has already subjected all things to Christ. The use of this verb underscores the authority that Christ holds, even if the visible reality does not yet reflect this total submission.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'and placed everything under his feet.' This is echoed in the KJV and ASV, which also emphasize the subjection of all things under Christ's authority.

However, the YLT and WEB use slightly different phrasing, highlighting the aspect of not yet seeing all things subjected to Him. This reflects a nuanced understanding of the current state of Christ's authority.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is ὑπέταξας (You have put in subjection), which governs a series of phrases. The structure includes a noun phrase indicating what has been subjected and a clause explaining the current state of visibility regarding this subjection.

The verse is complex, with multiple clauses and phrases that clarify the relationship between God's action and our present experience. The use of conjunctions connects the ideas of subjection and the lack of visible fulfillment.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The word ὑποτάσσω has a background in the Septuagint, where it often conveys the idea of subjection to authority, as seen in various contexts. It translates the Hebrew word for 'king' in passages that describe God's sovereignty.

In the Septuagint, this term emphasizes the hierarchical order established by God, reinforcing the theme of divine authority present in Hebrews.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Hebrews 2:8 explains that God has placed everything under the authority of Christ. While this is true, we do not yet see all things visibly subject to Him. This verse highlights the reality of Christ's authority and the current state of the world.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean that all things are put under Christ's feet?

It signifies that Christ has authority over all creation, as God has subjected everything to Him, though we do not yet see this fully realized.

Why do we not see everything subject to Him now?

The current state of the world reflects the tension between God's established authority and the ongoing presence of sin and rebellion in creation.

How does this verse relate to the concept of authority in the New Testament?

This verse affirms the New Testament teaching that Christ is supreme and has been given authority over all things, as seen in passages like Matthew 28:18.

What implications does this have for believers?

Believers can find hope in knowing that Christ's authority is ultimate, even if it is not yet fully visible in the world around us.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(8) Thou hast put . . .—There is in the Greek a studious repetition of the leading word, which should not be lost in translation: “Thou didst subject all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing unsubjected to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.” For in that . . .—The assertion of Heb 2:5 is established by this Scripture; for if God has thus declared all things subject to man, there is nothing that did not fall under his rule. “Did not,” in the divine purpose; but this purpose is not yet fulfilled in regard to the race of man.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus. In eo enim quod omnia ei subjecit, nihil dimisit non subjectum ei. Nunc autem necdum videmus omnia subjecta ei.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܥܒܕܬ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܒܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܥܒܕ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܚܙܝܢܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܫܥܒܕ ܠܗ

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

II. p. 319), ““νγῈ saw that the girl had wounds on her hips with livid spots”: cf. Lk 8° (for voc. of address see Pro/eg. pp. 70, 235). The word is commonly applied to slaves, as in Lk 77 a/., e.g. P Lille 27 (iii/B.c.), where 11 male slaves are enumerated under the heading παῖδες, then 2 female slaves, and then again 3 male slaves: cf.

The Greek word ὑποτάσσω (hupotassō) is built from the prefix ὑπό (under) and the root τάσσω (to arrange). It covers a range of meanings related to subordination and obedience, including to subject, to obey, and to place under authority. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like submission to God (James 4:7) and the subjection of all things under Christ (1 Corinthians 15:27).

ὑποτάσσω. With Jas 47 ὑποτάγητε οὖν τῷ θεῴ, ‘submit yourselves therefore to God,”’ Hort (Comm. ad /.) compares, in addition to various passages from the LXX, the use of the verb in Epict. iii, 24. 65 ὡς τοῦ Διὸς διάκονον ἔδει, ἅμα μὲν κηδόμενος, ἅμα δ᾽ ὡς τῷ θεῷ ὑποτεταγμένος, and iv. 12 ΤΙ ἐγὼ δ᾽ ἔχω τίνι με δεῖ ἀρέσκειν, τίνι ὑποτετάχθαι, τίνι πείθεσθαι, τῷ θεῷ καὶ τοῖς μετ᾽ ἐκεῖνον. He further notes that ‘*human submission to God” is spoken of only here and Heb 129 in the NT. Note also such passages as P Leid Wxili. $4 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 127) πάντα ὑποτέτακταί σον (1. σοι), and from the inscrr. OG/S 654? (i/B.c.) σύμπασαν τὴ[ν] Θηβαΐδα μὴ ὑποταγεῖσαν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιίν, ὑποτάξας.

The Greek word ὑποκάτω (*hupokatō*) means 'under' or 'below.' It functions primarily as an adverb and can also act as a preposition with a genitive. The New Testament uses it in several verses, including Matthew 22:44 and Mark 6:11. Various lexicons confirm its meaning, but they differ slightly in its grammatical usage.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

Webster's Dictionary (1828), Webster's Unabridged (1913), Webster's Dictionary (1806)

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word for 'foot' is used literally and figuratively in the Bible, as seen in Matthew 4:6 and Mark 9:45. It can refer to a person's foot or an animal's foot, and is also used symbolically in Romans 16:20 and 1 Corinthians 15:25.

πούς (pous) means 'foot' and can refer to the feet of both humans and animals. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including metaphoric uses related to movement and authority, such as being under someone's feet (Romans 16:20). The word is built from a primary root and is used in phrases that denote proximity or action, reflecting its significance in both literal and figurative language.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Th' adorning thee with so much art,

Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.

γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich).

The Greek word ὑποτάσσω (hupotassō) is built from the prefix ὑπό (under) and the root τάσσω (to arrange). It covers a range of meanings related to subordination and obedience, including to subject, to obey, and to place under authority. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like submission to God (James 4:7) and the subjection of all things under Christ (1 Corinthians 15:27).

ὑποτάσσω. With Jas 47 ὑποτάγητε οὖν τῷ θεῴ, ‘submit yourselves therefore to God,”’ Hort (Comm. ad /.) compares, in addition to various passages from the LXX, the use of the verb in Epict. iii, 24. 65 ὡς τοῦ Διὸς διάκονον ἔδει, ἅμα μὲν κηδόμενος, ἅμα δ᾽ ὡς τῷ θεῷ ὑποτεταγμένος, and iv. 12 ΤΙ ἐγὼ δ᾽ ἔχω τίνι με δεῖ ἀρέσκειν, τίνι ὑποτετάχθαι, τίνι πείθεσθαι, τῷ θεῷ καὶ τοῖς μετ᾽ ἐκεῖνον. He further notes that ‘*human submission to God” is spoken of only here and Heb 129 in the NT. Note also such passages as P Leid Wxili. $4 (ii/iii A.D.)

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

οὐδείς is built from the negation οὐ (not) and εἷς (one), meaning no one or none. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, often emphasizing the absence of people or things, such as in Matthew 5:13 and John 1:18. The word can also be used adverbially to mean not at all or nothing.

ἀφίημι (aphiemi) means to send away or release, encompassing a range of actions such as forgiving debts or sins, allowing someone to depart, and neglecting something. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including forgiveness in Matthew 9:2 and the release of the spirit in Matthew 27:50. The word is built from the prefix ἀπ- (away) and ἵημι (to send).

ἀφίημι. Some abnormal NT forms of this very “irregular ’’ verb may be illustrated: cf. Moulton, Ainéectung, p. 82f. The unaugmented aor. pass. ἀφέθησαν in Rom 47 (from Ps 311) where δὲ has ἀφείθησαν) is matched by OG/S 435° (ii/B.c.) ἀφέθη; but BGU IV. 10228 (a.p. 196) ἀφθείθημεν (zc. ἀφειθ.). ᾿Αφέωνται is to be compared with the imper. ἀφεώσθω in Michel §85'4 (Arcadian ?iii/B.C.), as well as with the Herodotean ἀνέωται : see Pro/eg. p. 38 2. Against this note imper. ἀφείσθω in CPHerm 119 verso lii- 14 (Gallienus). The pres. ἀφεῖς in Rev 27° and Ex 32%? is best taken as a regular contraction of doles, from ἀφίω (not a contract verb), which is the normal conjugation into which the -μι verb tends here to merge itself: evidence for ἀφιέω seems to be wanting. The assumption of an ἀφέω, formed by proportion from ἀφήσω, is insufficiently supported by the barbarous Silco inscr., OG/7S 20118…

So Abraham says to Lot: "If thou wilt take the left hand (semo'l), then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left (sama'l)" (Ge 13:9).

Counted over the 48 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word ἀνυπότακτος (i.e., *anupotaktos*) is formed from a negative prefix and a root meaning 'to subject.' It describes things that are not made subject or persons who are unruly and insubordinate. The New Testament uses it in Hebrews 2:8 and in 1 Timothy 1:9 and Titus 1:6, 10, where it conveys a sense of disobedience or lack of control.

νῦν is an adverb meaning 'now,' indicating the present time as opposed to the past or future. It can also refer to the immediate past or future. The New Testament uses it frequently, including in John 11:8 and Romans 13:11. Abbott-Smith notes its use in logical sequences, while Liddell-Scott-Jones highlights its dialectal variations and broader applications.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

a conjunctive particle, marking the superaddition of a clause, whether in opposition or in continuation, to what has preceded, and it may be variously rendered but, on the other hand, and, also, now, etc.; καὶ δέ, when there is a special superaddition in continuation, too, yea, etc. It sometimes is found at the commencement of the apodosis of a sentence, Acts 11:17. It serves also to mark the resumption of an interrupted discourse, 2 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 2:6

Intermediate Liddell-Scott-Jones

δέ but: conjunctive Particle, with adversative force: it commonly answers to μέν, and may often be rendered by while, whereas, on the other hand, v. μέν:— but μέν is often omitted, δέ being used merely to pass on from one thing to another; ὣς Ἀχιλεὺς θάμβησεν, θάμβησαν δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι Il.; etc.; κινεῖ κραδίην κινεῖ δὲ χόλον Eur.

δέ is often redundant,

The Greek word οὔπω (oupo) is an adverb meaning 'not yet.' It combines the negative particle οὐ (not) with a form of πώ (yet). This term appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 24:6 and John 2:4. It is noted for being a stronger form of negation compared to other expressions like μήπω.

The Greek word ὁράω (i.e., *horaō*) means 'to see' and is derived from various roots. It encompasses physical sight, mental perception, and the act of attending to or experiencing something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as visiting others (Luke 8:20) and discerning spiritual truths (Romans 15:21). Different lexicons note variations in its grammatical forms and uses, particularly regarding its aorist tense.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The Greek word ὑποτάσσω (hupotassō) is built from the prefix ὑπό (under) and the root τάσσω (to arrange). It covers a range of meanings related to subordination and obedience, including to subject, to obey, and to place under authority. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like submission to God (James 4:7) and the subjection of all things under Christ (1 Corinthians 15:27).

ὑποτάσσω. With Jas 47 ὑποτάγητε οὖν τῷ θεῴ, ‘submit yourselves therefore to God,”’ Hort (Comm. ad /.) compares, in addition to various passages from the LXX, the use of the verb in Epict. iii, 24. 65 ὡς τοῦ Διὸς διάκονον ἔδει, ἅμα μὲν κηδόμενος, ἅμα δ᾽ ὡς τῷ θεῷ ὑποτεταγμένος, and iv. 12 ΤΙ ἐγὼ δ᾽ ἔχω τίνι με δεῖ ἀρέσκειν, τίνι ὑποτετάχθαι, τίνι πείθεσθαι, τῷ θεῷ καὶ τοῖς μετ᾽ ἐκεῖνον. He further notes that ‘*human submission to God” is spoken of only here and Heb 129 in the NT. Note also such passages as P Leid Wxili. $4 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 127) πάντα ὑποτέτακταί σον (1. σοι), and from the inscrr. OG/S 654? (i/B.c.) σύμπασαν τὴ[ν] Θηβαΐδα μὴ ὑποταγεῖσαν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιίν, ὑποτάξας.
