For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.

He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since he also is subject to weakness,

For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.

And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.

During his earthly life Christ offered both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion.

For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.
