¹⁴ Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁵ and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

¹⁶ For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.

³ He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.

⁴ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁸ But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

²¹ For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed `himself' to him that judgeth righteously:

²⁴ who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

²⁵ For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not.

¹⁷ Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

¹⁸ No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.

¹⁹ There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.

⁸ and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient `even' unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

⁴⁵ For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

³⁸ Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.

²¹ From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
