He

Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?

For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”

And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”

God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness.

He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness.

That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”

During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.

And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him

For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.

…where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.

In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.

He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.

Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.

Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.

By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.

He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.

He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.

Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

…because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.

For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,

In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.

For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.

Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

…so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,

…because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.

The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:

Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.

You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.

But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”

By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.

For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.

By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.

By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.

He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.

By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.

And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.

For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”

For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”

For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
