v“When he ascended on high whe led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”

Or pastors
and teachers,
Or  the shepherd-teachers

6And again, when he brings bithe firstborn into the world, he says,

bjLet all God’s angels worship him.”
7Of the angels he says,

bk“He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8But of the Son he says,

blYour throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, bmhas anointed you
with bnthe oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
10And,

boYou, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.
Some manuscripts omit  like a garment

But you are bqthe same,
and your years will have no end.”

1 Peter 3:22

22who has gone into heaven and bris at the right hand of God, bswith angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
