Hebrews 4:14-5:4

14 We have a great high priest who has gone into heaven. He is Jesus, the Son of God. Because we have such a great high priest, let us hold on to the things we believe.

15 We have a high priest who can feel with us when we are weak. He has been tested in every way, just as we are. But he did not do anything wrong.

16 So let us trust him when we come to worship God. He is so good. He will be kind to us and help us when we need it.

Every high priest is chosen from among men. His work is to stand before God for people. He brings gifts and makes sacrifices to God for the wrong things people have done.

Such a high priest can be kind to people who do not know what is right and who do wrong. He knows how to share in the suffering of others because he himself is weak.

Because he is weak himself, he must make sacrifices to God for the wrong things he has done, just as he does for the people.

No one chooses himself to be high priest. But God calls him, just as he called Aaron.
