15 et qu’il délivrât tous ceux qui, par crainte de la mort, étaient toute leur vie retenus dans la servitude.
16 Car assurément ce n’est pas à des anges qu’il vient en aide, mais c’est à la postérité d’Abraham.
17 En conséquence, il a dû être rendu semblable en toutes choses à ses frères, afin qu’il fût un souverain sacrificateur miséricordieux et fidèle dans le service de Dieu, pour faire l’expiation des péchés du peuple;
18 car, ayant été tenté lui-même dans ce qu’il a souffert, il peut secourir ceux qui sont tentés.
