Jesús, superior a Moisés

Por tanto, hermanos santos(A), participantes del llamamiento celestial(B), considerad a Jesús, el Apóstol(C) y Sumo Sacerdote(D) de nuestra fe[a](E). El cual fue fiel[b] al que le designó[c], como también lo fue Moisés en toda la casa de Dios[d](F). Porque Él ha sido considerado digno de más gloria que Moisés(G), así como el constructor de la casa tiene más honra que la casa. Porque toda casa es hecha por alguno, pero el que hace todas las cosas es Dios. Y Moisés fue fiel en toda la casa de Dios[e](H) como siervo(I), para testimonio(J) de lo que se iba a decir más tarde(K); pero Cristo fue fiel como Hijo sobre la casa de Dios[f](L), cuya casa somos nosotros(M), si retenemos firme(N) hasta el fin nuestra confianza(O) y la gloria[g] de nuestra esperanza(P). Por lo cual, como dice el Espíritu Santo(Q):

Si oís hoy su voz(R),
no endurezcáis vuestros corazones, como en la provocación,
como en el día de la prueba en el desierto(S),
(T)donde vuestros padres me tentaron al ponerme a prueba,
y vieron mis obras por cuarenta años(U).
10 Por lo cual me disgusté con aquella generación,
y dije: «siempre se desvían en su corazón,
y no han conocido mis caminos(V)»;
11 como juré en mi ira:
«No entrarán en mi reposo(W)».

12 Tened cuidado(X), hermanos, no sea que en alguno de vosotros haya un corazón malo de incredulidad, para apartarse[h] del Dios vivo(Y). 13 Antes exhortaos los unos a los otros cada día(Z), mientras todavía se dice: Hoy; no sea que alguno de vosotros sea endurecido por el engaño del pecado(AA). 14 Porque somos hechos[i] partícipes de Cristo, si es que retenemos(AB) firme hasta el fin el principio de nuestra seguridad(AC), 15 en cuanto se dice:

Si oís hoy su voz,
no endurezcáis vuestros corazones, como en la provocación(AD).

16 Porque ¿quiénes, habiendo oído, le provocaron(AE)? ¿Acaso no fueron todos los que salieron de Egipto(AF) guiados por Moisés? 17 ¿Y con quiénes se disgustó por cuarenta años? ¿No fue con aquellos que pecaron, cuyos cuerpos cayeron en el desierto(AG)? 18 ¿Y a quiénes juró que no entrarían en su reposo(AH), sino a los que fueron desobedientes(AI)? 19 Vemos, pues, que no pudieron entrar a causa de su incredulidad(AJ).

The Son Was Faithful

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as (A)Moses also was faithful in all His house. For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as (B)He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but (C)He who built all things is God. (D)And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as (E)a servant, (F)for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, but Christ as (G)a Son over His own house, (H)whose house we are (I)if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope [a]firm to the end.

Be Faithful(J)

Therefore, as (K)the Holy Spirit says:

(L)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’
11 So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but [b]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:

(M)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

16 (N)For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (O)whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And (P)to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of (Q)unbelief.

  2. Hebrews 3:13 encourage

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers,[a] you who share in (A)a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, (B)the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, (C)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[b] house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but (D)the builder of all things is God.) (E)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (F)as a servant, (G)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as (H)a son. And (I)we are his house, if indeed we (J)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[c]

A Rest for the People of God

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

(K)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
    on the day of testing in the wilderness,
where your fathers put me to the test
    and saw my works for (L)forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
    they have not known my ways.’
11 (M)As I swore in my wrath,
    ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from (N)the living God. 13 But (O)exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by (P)the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, (Q)if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,

(R)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

16 For (S)who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not (T)all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (U)whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that (V)they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that (W)they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
