Hebrews 4:14-16

(King James Version)

Seeing then that we have a great

high priest, that is passed into

the heavens, Jesus the Son of

God, let us hold fast our

profession.

Hebrews 4:14-16

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Hebrews 4:14-16

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

When evening had come, they

brought to Him many who were

demon-possessed. And He cast

And bore our sicknesses.”
