Hebrews 2:14-18 Seeing then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also himself in like manner partook of them; that by death He might destroy him that had the empire of death, that is, the devil:

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Seeing then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also himself in like manner partook of them; that by death He might destroy him that had the empire of death, that is, the devil: ¹⁵ and deliver those who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage. ¹⁶ For indeed He taketh not hold of angels to save them, but of the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Whence it behoved Him to be made in all things like unto his brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high-priest in the things concerning God, to make atonement for the sins of the people: ¹⁸ for as He himself hath suffered, in being tempted, He is able to succour those that are tempted.
