Hebrews 2:5-3:1

New International Version

Jesus Made Fully Human

⁵ It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. ⁶ But there is a place where someone^(A) has testified:

In putting everything under them,^[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.^[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.^{[f] 9} But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor^(D) because he suffered death,^(E) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.^(F)

¹⁰ In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,^(G) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.^{(H) 11} Both the one who makes people holy^(I) and those who are made holy^(J) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.^{[g](K) 12} He says,

¹³ And again,

And again he says,

¹⁴ Since the children have flesh and blood,^(O) he too shared in their humanity^(P) so that by his death he might break the power^(Q) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil^(R)— ¹⁵ and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear^(S) of death. ¹⁶ For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.^{(T) 17} For this reason he had to be made like them,^[k](U) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful^(V) and faithful high priest^(W) in service to God,^(X) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.^{(Y) 18} Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.^(Z)

Jesus Greater Than Moses

3 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,^(AA) who share in the heavenly calling,^(AB) fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge^(AC) as our apostle and high priest.^(AD)
