²² For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.^(A)

¹⁵ The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites.^(A) You must listen to him. ¹⁶ For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.”^(B)

¹⁷ The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. ¹⁸ I will raise up for them a prophet^(C) like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words^(D) in his mouth.^(E) He will tell them everything I command him.^{(F) 19} I myself will call to account^(G) anyone who does not listen^(H) to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.^(I)

³⁷ “This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’^[a](A)

⁴ But when the set time had fully come,^(A) God sent his Son,^(B) born of a woman,^(C) born under the law,^(D)

³⁰ Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. ³¹ They spoke about his departure,^[a](A) which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. ³² Peter and his companions were very sleepy,^(B) but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. ³³ As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master,^(C) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

³⁴ While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. ³⁵ A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen;^(D) listen to him.”^(E)

⁴ And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

⁵ Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,^(A) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” ⁶ (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

⁷ Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:^(B) “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”^(C)

Prologue

1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave^(A) him to show his servants what must soon take place.^(B) He made it known by sending his angel^(C) to his servant John,^(D)

⁹ and, once made perfect,^(A) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him

⁹ But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor^(A) because he suffered death,^(B) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.^(C)

¹⁰ In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,^(D) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.^{(E) 11} Both the one who makes people holy^(F) and those who are made holy^(G) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.^{[a](H) 12} He says,

¹³ And again,

And again he says,

¹⁴ Since the children have flesh and blood,^(L) he too shared in their humanity^(M) so that by his death he might break the power^(N) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil^(O)— ¹⁵ and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear^(P) of death. ¹⁶ For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.^{(Q) 17} For this reason he had to be made like them,^[e](R) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful^(S) and faithful high priest^(T) in service to God,^(U) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.^(V)
