So even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,

and he reasoned that God could even raise him from the dead, and in a sense he received him back from there.

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

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.

Therefore he had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
