General Information:

The first prophetic quotation (You are my Son) comes from the Psalms. The prophet Samuel wrote the second one (I will be a Father to him). The words "You" and "he" refer to Jesus, and the words "I" and "me" refer to God the Father.

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son ... a Son to me"?

This question emphasizes that God does not call any angel his Son. Alternate translation: "For God never said to any of the angels, 'You are my Son ... a Son to me.'" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

You are my Son ... I have become your Father

These two phrases mean essentially the same thing. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism)
