Hebrews 4:14-5:10 (Good News Translation)

 14Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great
High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God—Jesus, the Son of
God.
          15Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our
weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in
every way that we are, but did not sin.
          16Let us have confidence, then, and approach God's throne,
where there is grace. There we will receive mercy and find grace to help
us just when we need it.
          1Every high priest is chosen from his fellow-men and appointed
to serve God on their behalf, to offer sacrifices and offerings for sins.
          2Since he himself is weak in many ways, he is able to be gentle
with those who are ignorant and make mistakes.

          3And because he is himself weak, he must offer sacrifices not
only for the sins of the people but also for his own sins.

          4No one chooses for himself the honor of being a high priest.
It is only by God's call that a man is made a high priest—just as Aaron
was.

          5In the same way, Christ did not take upon himself the honor of
being a high priest. Instead, God said to him,

                          "You are my Son;

            today I have become your Father."

          6He also said in another place,

                          "You will be a priest forever,

            in the priestly order of Melchizedek."

          7In his life on earth Jesus made his prayers and requests with
loud cries and tears to God, who could save him from death. Because he was
humble and devoted, God heard him.
          8But even though he was God's Son, he learned through his
sufferings to be obedient.
          9When he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal
salvation for all those who obey him,
          10and God declared him to be high priest, in the priestly order
of Melchizedek.

God bless you.
