Hebrews 4:14-16
KJV—Seeing then that we have a great
high priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
profession. For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities; but was in all points tempted
like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore
come boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need.

Amp—Inasmuch then as we have a great
High Priest Who has [already] ascended
and passed through the heavens, Jesus the
Son of God, let us hold fast our confession
[of faith in Him], For we do not have a High
Priest Who is unable to understand and
sympathize and have a fellow feeling with
our weaknesses and infirmities and liability
to the assaults of temptation, but One
Who has been tempted in every respect
as we are, yet without sinning. Let us then
fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw
near to the throne of grace—the throne
of God’s unmerited favor [to us sinners];
that we may receive mercy [for our failures]
and find grace to help in good time for every
need—appropriate help and well-timed
help, coming just when we need it.

Moffatt—As we have a great high priest,
then, who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
to our confession; for ours is no high priest
who cannot have sympathy with our weaknesses,
but one who has been tempted in
every respect like ourselves, yet without
sinning. So let us approach the throne of
grace with confidence, that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help us in the hour
of need.

NEB—Since therefore we have a great high
priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to the
religion we profess. For ours is not a high
priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but one who, because of his likeness
to us, has been tested every way, only without
sin. Let us therefore boldly approach
the throne of our gracious God, where we
may receive mercy and in his grace find
timely help.
