But we see him (A)who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, (B)crowned with glory and honor (C)because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might (D)taste death (E)for everyone.

10 For it (F)was fitting that he, (G)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (H)to glory, should make the (I)founder of their salvation (J)perfect through suffering. 11 For (K)he who sanctifies and (L)those who are sanctified (M)all have one source.[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (N)brothers,[b] 12 saying,

(O)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
    in the midst of the (P)congregation I will sing your praise.”

13 And again,

(Q)“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

(R)“Behold, I and the children (S)God has given me.”

14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (T)partook of the same things, that (U)through death he might (V)destroy (W)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (X)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.

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.

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

16 (A)“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and (B)again a little while, and you will see me.” 17 So (C)some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, (D)‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, (E)‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? (F)We do not know what he is talking about.” 19 (G)Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, (H)you will weep and lament, but (I)the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but (J)your sorrow will turn into joy. 21 (K)When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 (L)So also you have sorrow now, but (M)I will see you again, and (N)your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
