The Son became much greater than the angels. And God gave him a name that is much greater than theirs.

This is because God never said to any of the angels,

“You are my Son.
    Today I have become your Father.” Psalm 2:7

Nor did God say of any angel,

“I will be his Father,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[a] Psalm 97:7
