Hebrews 4:14-16, 5:7-9 (NRSV)
4:14 Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through
the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our
confession.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested
as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so
that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
5:7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers 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 reverent
submission.
8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;
9 and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal
salvation for all who obey him,
