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.

²⁵ Then a debate^[a] arose from the disciples of John with a Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, concerning Whom you have testified, look— this One is baptizing, and all are going to Him!” ²⁷ John responded and said “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it has been given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are testifying concerning me that I said that ‘I am not the Christ’, but that ‘I am one having been sent-forth ahead of that One’. ²⁹ The one having the bride is the bridegroom. And the friend of the bridegroom, the one standing there and hearing him, rejoices with joy^[b] because of the voice of the bridegroom. So this^[c], my joy, has been made-full. ³⁰ It-is-necessary for that One to grow, and for me to diminish.
