Hebrews 2:10–18

¹⁰In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author^d of their salvation perfect through suffering. ¹¹For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. ¹²He says:

“I will proclaim Your name to My brothers;

I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”^e

¹³And again:

“I will put My trust in Him.”^f

And once again:

“Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”^g

¹⁴Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

¹⁶For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. ¹⁷For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement^h for the sins of the people. ¹⁸Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
