11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[a] For this reason Jesus[b] is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,(A) 12 saying,

“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.”(B)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

“Here am I and the children whom God has given me.”(C)

14 Since, therefore, the children share flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,(D) 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death.(E) 16 For it is clear that he did not come to help angels but the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people.(F)

11 Both the one who makes people holy(A) and those who are made holy(B) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[a](C) 12 He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[b](D)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”[c](E)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[d](F)

14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(G) he too shared in their humanity(H) so that by his death he might break the power(I) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(J) 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(K) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(L) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[e](M) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(N) and faithful high priest(O) in service to God,(P) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(Q)
