Jesus the Great High Priest

Hebrews 4:14-5:10
14Therefore, having a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the son of God—let us hold fast the confession. 15For we do not have a high priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every respect according to likeness, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come near with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for opportune help.
Chapter 5
1For every high priest taken from among humans is appointed to represent humans in matters pertaining to God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness. 3Because of this he is obligated, just as he does for the people, so also to do for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4And no one takes the honor to himself, but when called by God, just as Aaron. 5So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but it was God who said to him, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you." 6And in another place he says, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." 7Who in the days of his flesh offered up petitions and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one able to save him from death, and was heard because of his reverence. 8Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9And having been made perfect, he became to all who obey him the causer of eternal salvation. 10Having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
