Jesus the Great High Priest

¹⁴Therefore, 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) ¹⁵For 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) ¹⁶Let us then approach^(H) God’s throne of grace with confidence,^(I) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
