Jesus The Son of God Is Our Great High Priest
14 Therefore, having a great High Priest having gone through the heavens[a]— Jesus, the Son of God— let us be holding-on-to the confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest not being able to sympathize-with our weaknesses, but One having been tempted[b] in all things[c] in accordance with our likeness, without sin. 16 So let us be approaching the throne of grace with confidence[d], in order that we may receive mercy and find grace for well-timed[e] help.
High Priests Are Called By God From Among Men To Offer Sacrifices For Sins
5 For every high priest being taken from-among men is appointed for people in the things pertaining to God, in order that he might offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins— 2 being able to deal-gently with the ones being ignorant and going-astray since he himself is also surrounded with weakness. 3 And because of it[f], he is obligated to be offering sacrifices for sins— just as for the people, so also for himself. 4 And one does not take the honor to himself, but receives it being called by God, just as also Aaron.
