The Chief Ruler — 1 Comment

  1. The NKJV has the term “Great High Priest,” but TPT has “King-Priest.”

    Hebrews 4:14-16
    The Passion Translation
    Jesus, Our Compassionate King-Priest
    14 So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest,[a] Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who rose into the heavenly realm for us, and now sympathizes with us in our frailty.[b] 15 He understands humanity, for as a Man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are, and conquered sin.[c] 16 So now we come freely and boldly to where love is enthroned,[d] to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen[e] us in our time of weakness.[f]
