Jesus the Great High Priest

 

Hebrews 4:14-5:10

14 Seeing then that we have a great high Priest, which is entered into heaven, even Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high Priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore go boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

5:1 For every high Priest is taken from among men, and is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

2 Which is able sufficiently to have compassion on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that he also is compassed with infirmity,

3 And for the same sake he is bound to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples.

4 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

5 So likewise Christ took not to himself this honor, to be made the high Priest, but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, this day begat I thee, gave it him.

6 As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec.

7 Who in the days of his flesh did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him, that was able to save him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared.

8 And though he were the Son, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered.

9 And being consecrated, was made the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

10 And is called of God an high Priest after the order of Melchisedec.
