Thematic Bible




HAVING therefore a great chief priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the profession. For we have not a chief priest who cannot sympathise with our infirmities, but one tried in all respects as we are, without sin.

for the Son of man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed. And they inquired among themselves which of them it was who was about to do this. And there was a contention among them as to which of them should be the greatest. read more.
And he said to them, The kings of the nations exercise lordship over them; and those having power are called their benefactors. But you shall not be so.

For indeed he helped not angels, but he helped the descendants of Abraham. Whence he ought in all things to be assimilated to the brothers, that he may be a merciful and faithful chief priest as to things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he has himself suffered, having been tried, he is able to help the tried.
