Hebrews 4:14-16

New International Version

Jesus the Great High Priest

¹⁴Therefore, since we have a great high priest^(A) who has ascended into heaven,^[a]^(B) Jesus the Son of God,^(C) let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.^(D) ¹⁵For we do not have a high priest^(E) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are^(F)—yet he did not sin.^(G) ¹⁶Let us then approach^(H) God’s throne of grace with confidence,^(I) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

The Blood of Christ

¹¹But when Christ came as high priest^(A) of the good things that are now already here,^[a]^(B) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle^(C) that is not made with human hands,^(D) that is to say, is not a part of this creation. ¹²He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;^(E) but he entered the Most Holy Place^(F) once for all^(G) by his own blood,^(H) thus obtaining^[b] eternal redemption. ¹³The blood of goats and bulls^(I) and the ashes of a heifer^(J) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. ¹⁴How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit^(K) offered himself^(L) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences^(M) from acts that lead to death,^[c]^(N) so that we may serve the living God!^(O)
