Context Readings

Jesus Our Great High Priest

13 And no created being is hidden from God's sight, but everything is laid bare and is openly visible to the eyes of God, to whom we must give account. 14 Since then we [Christians] have [such] a great Head Priest, who has passed through the skies [i.e., ascended to heaven. See Acts 1:9], Jesus, the Son of God, we should remain true to our profession [of faith in Him]. 15 For we do not have a head priest who is incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but One [i.e., Jesus] who has been tempted in every way that we have, and yet without sinning.
