He is the reflection of God's glory and the perfect representation of His being, and continues to uphold the universe by His mighty word. After He had procured man's purification from sins, He took His seat at the right hand of God's majesty,

and again, "I too will put my trust in God"; and again, "Here I am and the children God has given me."

Since then the children mentioned share our mortal nature, He too took on Himself a full share of the same, in order that He by His death might put a stop to the power of him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

So in my anger I took oath, 'They shall not be admitted to my rest!'"

For we who have believed are being admitted to that rest, just as He has said: "As in my anger I took oath, they shall not be admitted to my rest," although God's works had been completed at the creation of the world.

So Christ too did not take upon Himself the glory of being appointed High Priest, but it was God who said: "You are my Son; I have today become your Father,"

For when God made His promise to Abraham, He took an oath by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom He could take it,

And I might almost say, Levi too, who now collects the tenth, through Abraham paid the tenth,

for the Levitical priests were appointed without His taking an oath, but He with His oath, when He said to Him: "The Lord took oath and will not change, You are a priest forever" --

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; so this High Priest too must have some sacrifice to offer,

Unlike the one that I made with their forefathers the day I took them by the hand to lead them out from the land of Egypt, for they did not abide by their covenant with me, so I did not care for them,' says the Lord.

For after every regulation in the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, crimson wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled the book containing the law and all the people,

"Sacrifice and offering you did not wish, but a body you have prepared for me; in burnt-offerings and sin-offerings you never took delight.

Although at first He said, "You never wished or took delight in sacrifices and offerings, burnt-offerings and sin-offerings" -- all of which are repeatedly offered in accordance with the law --

But this One offered up once for all and for all time one sacrifice for sins, and once for all took His seat at God's right hand,

Now the Holy Spirit, too, gives us the testimony, for after saying:

Continue to remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them, and those who are being ill-treated, since you, too, are liable to similar physical punishment.

So Jesus, too, in order to purify the people by His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
