But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the people of the nations might hear. I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion (Satan the Devil) (great danger) (1 Peter 5:8) (Psalm 22:21) (1 Thessalonians 2:18).






You have continued with me in my temptations.
























You have continued with me in my temptations.








Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials. Know that the testing of your faith produces patience (endurance).





You have continued with me in my temptations.




We have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, so let us hold fast our confession. We do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our infirmities (weaknesses). He was tested in all things like ourselves. Yet he was without sin!

The Son of man indeed goes, as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed! They questioned among themselves, which of them would do this thing. Contention grew between them concerning which of them was the greatest. read more.
He told them: The kings of the nations have lordship over them. Those who have authority over them are called Benefactors. But you should not be this way. He who is the greater among you let him become as the younger. He that is chief among you is he who serves. Which is greater, he who sits and eats or he who serves? Is it he who sits and eats? However I am in the midst of you as he who serves. You have continued with me in my temptations.

We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels and crowned with glory and honor for suffering death. By the grace of God he tasted death for every man. It was appropriate that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, should bring many sons to glory, to make the Chief Agent of their salvation perfect through suffering. Both he who sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all from one. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. read more.
He says: I will declare your name to my brothers; in the middle of the congregation I will sing praises to you. And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold, the children that Jehovah has given me. (Isaiah 8:18) Since the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also took part of the same things, that through death he might destroy him that had the power to cause death, [Satan] the Devil. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. He does not help the angels, but he helps the seed of Abraham. This means that he had to become like his brothers in every way, in order to be their faithful and merciful High Priest in his service to God, in order to offer a propitiatory sacrifice (pay atonement) (to make reconciliation) for the sins of the people. Since he has suffered and was tested in every way; he is able to help those who are being tested.
