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”.

At The Passover, Consumed By Zeal For God’s House, Jesus Cleanses The Temple

¹³ And the Passover [Feast] of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And in the temple, He found the ones selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers-of-money sitting [at their tables]. ¹⁵ And having made a lash^[a] from ropes, He drove them all out of the temple, and^[b] the sheep and the oxen. And He poured-out the coin of the money-changers. And He overturned the tables. ¹⁶ And He said to the ones selling the doves, “Take these things from here. Do not be making the house of My Father a house of a market”. ¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it has been written [in Ps 69:9], “Zeal for Your house will consume Me”. ¹⁸ Then the Jews responded and said to Him, “What sign do You show us, that you are doing these things?” ¹⁹ Jesus responded and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it”. ²⁰ Then the Jews said, “This temple was built for forty and six years, and You will raise it in three days?” ²¹ But that One was speaking about the temple of His body. ²² So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He was saying this, and believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus spoke.
