Jesus Greater Than Moses

1 Therefore, holy brothers,¹ you who share in ^ra heavenly calling, consider Jesus, ^sthe apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, ^tjust as Moses also was faithful in all God’s² house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but ^uthe builder of all things is God.) 5 ^vNow Moses was faithful in all God’s house ^was a servant, ^xto testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as ^ya son. And ^zwe are his house, if indeed we ^ahold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.³

23 By faith ^qMoses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of ^rthe king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, ^srefused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 ^tchoosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy ^uthe fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 ^vHe considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to ^wthe reward. 27 By faith he ^xleft Egypt, ^ynot being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured ^zas seeing him who is invisible.
