katapi HOME Hebrews 4:14-5: - Jesus the Great High Priest  Hb.4.14-5.10

4 14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 4 15 For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 4 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

5 1 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 5 2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. 5 3 Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. 5 4 And one does not take the honour upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was. 5 5 [ Ps.2.7. ] So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

"You are my Son,
today I have begotten you";
5 6 [ Ps.110.4. ] as he says also in another place,
"You are a priest for ever,
after the order of Melchizedek."
5 7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear. 5 8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; 5 9 and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 5 10 [ Ps.110.4. ] being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
