²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”^(A)

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth,^(A) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.^(B) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

² For since the message spoken^(A) through angels^(B) was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,^{(C) 3} how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?^(D) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,^(E) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.^{(F) 4} God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles,^(G) and by gifts of the Holy Spirit^(H) distributed according to his will.^(I)

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^(J) 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^(M) because he suffered death,^(N) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.^(O)

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

¹³ And again,

And again he says,

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

⁵ “Moses was faithful as a servant^(A) in all God’s house,”^[a](B) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future.

⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest,^(A) God would not have spoken^(B) later about another day.

⁵ In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory^(A) of becoming a high priest.^(B) But God said^(C) to him,

¹⁸ even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”^[a](A)

²⁵ See to it that you do not refuse^(A) him who speaks.^(B) If they did not escape when they refused him who warned^(C) them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?^(D)
