Jesus the Great High Priest

¹⁴ Since then we have ^(A)a great high priest ^(B)who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, ^(C)let us hold fast our confession.

²⁴ For Christ has entered, not into holy places ^(A)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God ^(B)on our behalf.

²⁰ where Jesus has gone ^(A)as a forerunner on our behalf, ^(B)having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, ^(A)who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising ^(B)the shame, and ^(C)is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹² he ^(A)entered ^(B)once for all into the holy places, not by means of ^(C)the blood of goats and calves but ^(D)by means of his own blood, ^(E)thus securing an eternal redemption.

¹⁰ He who descended is the one who also ^(A)ascended ^(B)far above all the heavens, that he might ^(C)fill all things.)

^23 (A)Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^(B)he who promised is faithful.

Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant

8 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, ^(A)one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

²⁵ Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost^{[a] (A)}those who draw near to God ^(B)through him, since he always lives ^(C)to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, ^(D)holy, innocent, unstained, ^(E)separated from sinners, and ^(F)exalted above the heavens.
