Book of Common Prayer

¹⁰ For it was fitting for him, for whom all things are and by whom all things are, in accordance with the way that he brought many sons to glory, to make the Lord of their salvation perfect through suffering. ¹¹ For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one, for which sake he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying: I will declare your name to my brethren, and in the midst of the congregation I will praise you. ¹³ And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold, here am I and the children that God has given me.

¹⁴ Considering then that the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, in order to put down through death him that had lordship over death – that is to say, the devil – ¹⁵ and to deliver those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. ¹⁶ For in no place does he take on him the angels, but he takes the seed of Abraham on him. ¹⁷ Therefore it was fitting for him to be made like his brethren in all things, so that he could be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, in order to purge the people’s sins. ¹⁸ For in that he himself suffered and was tried, he is able to succour those who are tried.

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, He who believes on me, believes not on me, but on him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And he who sees me, sees him who sent me.  ⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, so that whoever believes on me will not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if a person hears my words and does not believe, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He who refuses me, and does not receive my words, has one that judges him. The words that I have spoken, they will judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that this commandment is life everlasting. Whatever I speak, therefore, just as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
