Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Since then we have (A)a great high priest (B)who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, (C)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest (D)who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been (E)tempted as we are, (F)yet without sin. 16 (G)Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

For every high priest chosen from among men (H)is appointed to act on behalf of men (I)in relation to God, (J)to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. (K)He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself (L)is beset with weakness. Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins (M)just as he does for those of the people. And (N)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (O)just as Aaron was.

So also Christ (P)did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

(Q)“You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you”;

as he says also in another place,

(R)“You are a priest forever,
    after the order of Melchizedek.”

In the days of his flesh, (S)Jesus[a] offered up prayers and supplications, (T)with loud cries and tears, to him (U)who was able to save him from death, and (V)he was heard because of his reverence. Although (W)he was a son, (X)he learned obedience through what he suffered. And (Y)being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest (Z)after the order of Melchizedek.

  1. Hebrews 5:7 Greek he

22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of (A)a better covenant.

23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues (B)forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost[a] (C)those who draw near to God (D)through him, since he always lives (E)to make intercession for them.

26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, (F)holy, innocent, unstained, (G)separated from sinners, and (H)exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, (I)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this (J)once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men (K)in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made (L)perfect forever.
