Hebrews 4:15-5:2

Jesus the Great High Priest

15 For we do not have a high priest g who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been d tempted as we are, h yet without sin. 16 i Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest chosen from among men j is appointed to act on behalf of men k in relation to God, l to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 m He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself n is beset with weakness.
