From Quiz: Hebrews, Huh? Hmm...
Answer: All of these reasons are given.
"This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will." (Hebrews 2 v. 3-4)
The writer wants to encourage any waverers by affirming the truth of the Christian gospel that they have heard. It was, he says, originally preached by Jesus and subsequently passed on by his disciples. He goes on to reflect the typical view of the early Christians who saw the Holy Spirit as God's down-payment on their salvation (2 Corinthians 1 v. 22). Miraculous occurrences, and the working of the Holy Spirit through people's lives, were taken as evidence of God's confirmation of the message.

Answer: the angels
"The Son reflects God's own glory, and everything about him represents God exactly. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of his command. After he died to cleanse us from the stain of sin, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God of heaven. This shows that God's Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is far greater than their names." 1:3,4

Answer: salvation
It says in Hebrews 6:9, "But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak."
In the beliefs of many Christians, someone obtains salvation when he or she believes that Christ lived a perfect life, died for his or her sins on a cross, was buried for three days and then rose again on the third day. It is generally taught that people who accept this gift of salvation will live forever in Heaven with Jesus one day.

Answer: His brothers
"Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers." - Hebrews 2:11
Another verse that supports Christ's followers as his brothers is Romans 8:17. Romans 8:17 says that if we share in Christ's sufferings then we are children of God and therefore his heirs and co-heirs with Christ.
So the summary of the verses according to Christian belief:
If we share in Christ's sufferings then we are made holy and Jesus will not be ashamed to call us brothers.

Answer: least to the greatest
It says in Hebrews 8:11, "And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother saying, know the Lord; for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest."
This can be compared to the Old Testament, when only the Jews were considered God's people. The New Testament teaches that, after Christ came, both Jews and Gentiles could know God.
