17 Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters[a] pertaining to God, to make atonement[b](A) for the sins of the people.(B) 18 For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Our Apostle and High Priest

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.(C) He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was in all God’s household.
