Hebrews 4:15
“For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.”
— Bible (KJV) · Read Hebrews in context
The scene behind the verse
Rome, ~60-65 AD. The author explains why Jesus can be trusted as our High Priest — He experienced human temptation...
Original language
sympatheo (συμπαθῆσαι) — to suffer together with, feel pain alongside someone
Historical context
Ancient high priests had to offer sacrifices for their own sins before interceding for others
What most readers miss
The phrase 'yet without sin' doesn't mean Jesus wasn't really tempted — it means the temptations were real but He chose not to sin
Common misconception
People think Jesus' temptations weren't real because He's God. Actually, His temptations were more intense because He never gave in to dull His sensitivity.
How this verse has been applied
