Key verse: 4:14
NIV
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest(A) who has ascended into heaven,[a](B) Jesus the Son of God,(C) let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.(D) 15 For we do not have a high priest(E) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are(F)—yet he did not sin.(G) 16 Let us then approach(H) God’s throne of grace with confidence,(I) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
5 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God,(J) to offer gifts and sacrifices(K) for sins.(L) 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray,(M) since he himself is subject to weakness.(N) 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.(O) 4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.(P)
5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory(Q) of becoming a high priest.(R) But God said(S) to him,
6 And he says in another place,
7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions(W) with fervent cries and tears(X) to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard(Y) because of his reverent submission.(Z) 8 Son(AA) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered(AB) 9 and, once made perfect,(AC) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest(AD) in the order of Melchizedek.(AE)

ESV
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 Since then we have (A)a great high priest (B)who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, (C)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest (D)who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been (E)tempted as we are, (F)yet without sin. 16 (G)Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
5 For every high priest chosen from among men (H)is appointed to act on behalf of men (I)in relation to God, (J)to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 (K)He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself (L)is beset with weakness. 3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins (M)just as he does for those of the people. 4 And (N)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (O)just as Aaron was.
5 So also Christ (P)did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,
(Q)“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
6 as he says also in another place,
(R)“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
7 In the days of his flesh, (S)Jesus[a] offered up prayers and supplications, (T)with loud cries and tears, to him (U)who was able to save him from death, and (V)he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although (W)he was a son, (X)he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And (Y)being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest (Z)after the order of Melchizedek.
