Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 5:1-6

14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens-Jesus the Son of God-let us hold fast to the confession.

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin.

16 Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.

1 For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.

3 Because of this, he must make a sin offering for himself as well as for the people.

4 No one takes this honor on himself; instead, a person is called by God, just as Aaron was.

5 In the same way, the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a high priest, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father,

6 also said in another passage, You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
