Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Hebrews 2
¹¹ So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.
¹² For he said to God, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people.”
¹³ He also said, “I will put my trust in him,” that is, “I and the children God has given me.”
¹⁴ Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.
¹⁵ Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.
¹⁶ We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham.
¹⁷ Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.
¹⁸ Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
Hebrews 3
¹ And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest.
² For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house.
³ But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.
