Book of Common Prayer

So Consider Jesus As Faithful, Like Moses. But He Is Worthy of More Glory Than Moses

3 Hence^[a] holy brothers, partakers^[b] of a heavenly calling, consider^[c] the Apostle and High Priest of our confession— Jesus— ² as being faithful^[d] to the One having appointed Him, as also was Moses in His^[e] whole house. ³ For this One has been considered-worthy of more glory than Moses— to the degree that the One^[f] having built the house has more honor than the house.

For Moses Was Faithful As a Servant, But Christ Was Faithful As a Son

⁴ For every house is built by someone, but^[g] the One^[h] having built all things is God. ⁵ And Moses was faithful in His^[i] whole house as a servant^[j], for^[k] a testimony of the things which will^[l] be spoken. ⁶ But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if-indeed we hold-on-to our confidence and our boast of the hope.

Therefore Do Not Harden Your Hearts As Israel Once Did

⁷ Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says^[m] [in Ps 95:7-11]: “Today, if you hear His voice, ⁸ do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion during the day of testing in the wilderness, ⁹ where your fathers tested Me with a trial and saw My works ¹⁰ for forty years. Therefore I was-angry with this generation and said, ‘They are always going-astray in the heart, and they did not know My ways’. ¹¹ As I swore in My wrath, they will never^[n] enter into My rest”.

Jesus Finds Philip, Who Finds Nathanael. They Follow The Son of God, The King of Israel

⁴³ On the next day He wanted^[a] to go forth to Galilee. And He finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, “Be following Me”. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets wrote— Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth”. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, “Is anything good able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see”. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and says about him, “Look— truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit”. ⁴⁸ Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while being^[b] under the fig tree, I saw you”. ⁴⁹ Nathanael responded to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel”. ⁵⁰ Jesus responded and said to him, “Do^[c] you believe because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these!” ⁵¹ And He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you^[d] all, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man”.
