4:14 Yeshua is our high priest
14 So then, having Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the son of God who came from and returned to the heavens as our high priest, we need to hold firmly to what we say we believe, 15 because we don’t have a high priest who’s not able to sympathise with our weakness, but rather who’s been tempted just like we are, yet he didn’t sin. 16 Therefore we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace to help us when we need it.
5 Every high priest is just a person who was selected from the people to work with godly things both by offering gifts to God and sacrificing because of our sins. 2 He’s able to be patient with those who don’t understand and stray from the truth because he also is subject to weakness 3 and because of that, he has to make offerings for his own sins as well as for the people.[ref]
4 No one takes that honour onto themself, but they’re called by God like just Aharon (Aaron) was.[ref] 5 Similarly the messiah didn’t take the honour of being chief priest onto himself, but the one who spoke to him said:
today I have given birth to you.’[ref]
6 And in another place he said:
‘You are a priest of the order of Malki-Tsedek (Melchizedek).’[ref]
7 During the time when Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) lived in a human body, he offered up prayers and petitions with a mighty clamour and tears to the one who was able to save him from death,[ref] and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learnt obedience from what he suffered 9 and once he became perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who submitted to him 10 as he’d been designated by God as the high priest according to the order of Malki-Tsedek.
