²⁰ For where two or three are ^(A)gathered in my name, ^(B)there am I among them.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, ^(A)“Woman, believe me, ^(B)the hour is coming when ^(C)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. ^22 (D)You worship what you do not know; ^(E)we worship what we know, for ^(F)salvation is ^(G)from the Jews. ²³ But ^(H)the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father ^(I)in spirit and ^(J)truth, for the Father ^(K)is seeking such people to worship him.

The Founder of Salvation

⁵ For it was not to angels that God subjected the world ^(A)to come, of which we are speaking. ⁶ It has been testified somewhere,

Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, ^(C)we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. ⁹ But we see him ^(D)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, ^(E)crowned with glory and honor ^(F)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might ^(G)taste death ^(H)for everyone.

¹⁰ For it ^(I)was fitting that he, ^(J)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons ^(K)to glory, should make the ^(L)founder of their salvation ^(M)perfect through suffering. ¹¹ For ^(N)he who sanctifies and ^(O)those who are sanctified ^(P)all have one source.^[b] That is why he is not ashamed to call them ^(Q)brothers,^{[c] 12} saying,

¹⁴ Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise ^(W)partook of the same things, that ^(X)through death he might ^(Y)destroy ^(Z)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵ and deliver all those who ^(AA)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. ¹⁶ For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he ^(AB)helps the offspring of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore he had ^(AC)to be made like his brothers in every respect, ^(AD)so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest ^(AE)in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For because he himself has suffered ^(AF)when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
