Hebrews 2:14-18

Murdock(i) 14 For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan; 15 and might release them, who, through fear of death, are all their lives subject to bondage. 16 For he did not assume a nature from angels, but he assumed a nature from the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people. 18 For, in that he himself hath suffered, and been tempted, he is able to succor them who are tempted.
