Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Hebrews 4
¹² For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
¹³ And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
¹⁴ Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
¹⁶ Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 5
¹ For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;
² he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;
³ and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.
⁴ And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.
⁵ So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You";
⁶ just as He says also in another passage, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek."
