Hebrews 2:14-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
So The Son Took On Mortal Flesh And Died To Release Us From The Power of Death
14 Therefore, since the children have shared of blood and flesh, He Himself also similarly partook of the same things in order that through death He might do-away-with[a] the one having the power of death (that is, the devil), 15 and release these: all-who by the fear of death were subject-to[b] slavery through all their living. 16 For He surely does not take-hold-of [c] angels, but He takes hold of the seed of Abraham.
He Had To Become Like Us In All Things In Order To Become a Merciful High Priest
17 Hence, He had-to become-like His brothers in all things in order that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in the things pertaining to God, so as to make-an-offering-for-satisfaction[d] [of God’s wrath] as to the sins of the people. 18 For having Himself [e] been tempted[f] in what He has suffered, He is able to help the ones being tempted.
