Parallels/Contrasts within Hebrews

Jesus His People
9but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death, so that by God’s grace he would experience death on behalf of everyone.
10For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist,

to make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
in bringing many sons to glory,
11For indeed he who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin,
and so he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,
12saying, “I will proclaim your name

I will praise you.”
to my brothers;
in the midst of the assembly
13Again he says, “I will be confident in him,”
and again, “Here I am,

with the children God has given me.”


he likewise shared in their humanity,
14Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood,
so that through death he could destroy the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),15and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death.
16For surely it is not for angels he is concerned, but for Abraham’s descendants.
17Therefore he had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every respect,
so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
18For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

1Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,

Jesus Moses
2who is faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses was also in God’s house.
3For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses,
just as the builder of a house deserves greater honour than the house itself!
4For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.  


6But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house.
5Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken.
We are of his house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in.
