Jesus Our High Priest

3 Therefore, ^(A)holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a ^(B)heavenly calling, consider ^(C)the Apostle and ^(D)High Priest of our ^(E)confession: Jesus;

¹⁴ Therefore, since we have a great ^(A)high priest who has ^(B)passed through the heavens, Jesus ^(C)the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our ^(D)confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have ^(E)a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been ^(F)tempted in all things just as we are, yet ^(G)without sin. ¹⁶ Therefore let’s ^(H)approach the throne of grace with ^(I)confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

⁵ So too Christ ^(A)did not glorify Himself in becoming a ^(B)high priest, but it was He who ^(C)said to Him,

¹⁰ being designated by God as ^(A)High Priest according to ^(B)the order of Melchizedek.

^20 (A)where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a ^(B)high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
