Wherfore in all things it behooued him to bee made like vnto his brethren, that he might be a mercifull and faithfull high Priest, in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sinnes of the people.

¶ For euery high Priest taken from among men, is ordeined for men in things pertaining to God, that hee may offer both giftes & sacrifices for sins.

And by reason heereof hee ought as for the people, so also for himselfe, to offer for sinnes.

For I will be mercifull to their vnrighteousnes, and their sins & their iniquities will I remember no more.

So Christ was once offered to beare the sinnes of many, & vnto them that looke for him shall hee appeare the second time without sinne, vnto saluation.

For then would they not haue ceased to be offered, because that the worshippers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe made of sinnes euery yeere.

For it is not possible that the blood of Bulles and of Goats, should take away sinnes.
