Hebrews 4:14-5:6 (Epistle)
- 14
- Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
- 15
- For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
- 16
- Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

- For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
- 2
- He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.
- 3
- Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.
- 4
- And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.
- 5
- So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.”
- 6
- As He also says in another place: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek”;
