Jesus the Great High Priest

¹⁴ Therefore, 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) 15} For 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)

⁶ And he says in another place,

⁷ During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions^(C) with fervent cries and tears^(D) to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard^(E) because of his reverent submission.^{(F) 8} Son^(G) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered^{(H) 9} and, once made perfect,^(I) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him ¹⁰ and was designated by God to be high priest^(J) in the order of Melchizedek.^(K)

³ Without father or mother, without genealogy,^(A) without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God,^(B) he remains a priest forever.
