He was for a season made lower than the Angels, made on the Earth, and descended into the lower parts of the Earth; and that for the Discharge of the principal Part of his Priestly Office, namely, the offering of himself for a Sacrifice unto God. But he abode not in that state nor could he discharge his whole Office and all the Duties of it therein; and therefore was made higher than the Heavens. He was not made higher than the Heavens that he might be a Priest: but being our High Priest and as our High Priest, He was so made, for the discharge of that part of his Office which yet remained to be performed; for he was to live for ever to make Intercession for us.
