Hebrews 4:14-5:4

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴ Therefore, since we have a great ^(A)high priest who has ^(B)passed through the heavens, Jesus ^(C)the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our ^(D)confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have ^(E)a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been ^(F)tempted in all things just as we are, yet ^(G)without sin. ¹⁶ Therefore let’s ^(H)approach the throne of grace with ^(I)confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

The Perfect High Priest

5 For every high priest ^(J)taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in ^(K)things pertaining to God, in order to ^(L)offer both gifts and sacrifices ^(M)for sins; ^2 [a](N)he can deal gently with the ^(O)ignorant and ^(P)misguided, since he himself also is ^[b](Q)clothed in weakness; ³ and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices ^(R)for sins for himself, ^(S)as well as for the people. ⁴ And ^(T)no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just ^(U)as Aaron also was.
