Epistle
Heb 4.14-5.6
Read in contextBrethren, seeing
4:14Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
4:15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.
4:16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
5:1For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
5:2Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
5:3And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
5:4And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
5:5So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
5:6As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
