Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. We have no angelic preachers; we sometimes speak of “the seraphic doctor,” but no seraph ever was a preacher of the gospel of the grace of God; that honour has been reserved for a lower order of beings.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

He said to his disciples, “I am...

That he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
