But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his godly fear.

where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to sanctify the people through his own blood.

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal covenant,

equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
