10For in bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God — for whom and through whom all things exist — should make the pioneer2:10 Or source, or leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.2:10 Lk 13:32; 24:26; Rm 11:36; Heb 7:28

11For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.2:11 Or father, or origin; lit all are of one That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,2:11 Mt 28:10; Jn 20:17; Ac 17:28; Heb 10:10

12saying:

14Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death — that is, the devil2:14 Jn 1:14; 1Co 15:54–56; Col 2:15; 2Tm 1:10; 1Jn 3:8 — 

15and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.2:15 Rm 8:15; 2Tm 1:7

16For it is clear that he does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring.2:16 Lk 19:9; Jn 8:39; Rm 4:16; Gl 3:7–9,29

17Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters2:17 Lit things pertaining to God, to make atonement2:17 Or propitiation2:17 2Co 5:21 for the sins of the people.2:17 Lk 18:13; Rm 3:25; Php 2:7; Heb 4:15; 5:1–2; 7:26–28; 1Jn 2:2; 4:10

18For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
