HEBREWS. 2.17, 18. Wherefore in all things it behoved him,1 to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful, and a faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation (or atonement) for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
