The Key Word — συμπαθῆσαι, sumpatheōgenerated
The verb συμπαθέω, transliterated as sumpatheō, means 'to sympathize' and is derived from the prefix for 'with' and a root meaning 'to feel'. This word indicates a deep emotional connection, where one shares in the feelings of another, particularly in their suffering.
In this context, it emphasizes that Jesus fully understands our human experiences and weaknesses because He has faced temptation just as we do. This understanding is crucial for believers seeking comfort and support in their struggles.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations generally agree on the meaning of συμπαθῆσαι. The Berean Standard Bible and others use 'to sympathize', while the Faithful Version opts for 'sympathize', reflecting a slight variation in wording but not in meaning.
Where they differ is in the rendering of ἀσθενείαις as either 'weaknesses' (BSB, NETB) or 'infirmities' (KJV, ASV). Similarly, the term πεπειρασμένον is rendered 'tempted' in most versions, while the Basic English Bible uses 'tested'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is ἔχομεν, we have, which governs the entire structure. It is followed by a noun phrase ἀρχιερέα, a high priest, and several clauses that elaborate on the nature of this high priest.
The sentence contains multiple clauses that describe Jesus' empathetic nature, including a subordinate clause that specifies His ability to sympathize with our weaknesses and another that emphasizes His temptation without sin.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Hebrews 4:15, the Greek words correspond to significant Hebrew terms found in the Septuagint. The word μὴ (mē), meaning 'not,' translates the Hebrew אַל (al), which serves as a strong negation, emphasizing the inability of the high priest to be indifferent to human weakness.
The term πεπειρασμένον (peiraō), meaning 'tempted,' reflects the Hebrew נָסָה (nasah), which conveys the idea of testing or trying. This choice highlights that the high priest experienced trials similar to those of humanity, yet was χωρὶς (chōris), or 'without,' sin, paralleling the Hebrew בַּד (bad), which denotes separation, reinforcing the priest's unique purity amidst shared human experiences.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Hebrews 4:15 teaches that Jesus, our high priest, understands our struggles because He faced temptation like we do but did not sin. This means we can approach Him with confidence, knowing He empathizes with our weaknesses.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
A high priest is a leader in the Jewish faith who represents the people before God. In this context, Jesus serves as our mediator, understanding our struggles and interceding for us.
Jesus was tempted in every way we are, which means He experienced the same struggles and challenges, making Him able to empathize with us in our weaknesses.
Jesus' sinlessness qualifies Him to be the perfect high priest who can offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins, providing us with redemption and access to God.
We can approach Him confidently because He understands our struggles and offers grace and mercy, as He knows what it is like to be human and face temptation.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Non enim habemus pontificem qui non possit compati infirmitatibus nostris : tentatum autem per omnia pro similitudine absque peccato.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

The Greek word ἔχω, transliterated as echō, means 'to have' or 'to hold' and is used in various contexts, including possession, ability, and condition. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often relating to physical possession or metaphorical concepts like keeping faith or emotions. Notably, it can also refer to being pregnant, as seen in Matthew 1:18. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

The Greek word ἀρχιερεύς (i.e., *archiereus*) means 'high priest' or 'chief priest.' It is composed of elements meaning 'chief' and 'priest.' The term appears in the New Testament, notably in references to the high priestly role in Jewish tradition, including Christ's role as high priest. The plural form refers to chief priests, including former high priests and their families.
ἀρχ-ιερεύς, -έως, 6, chief priest, high-priest. 1. He who above a others was honored with the title of priest, the chief of the priests, 917137 j3 (Lev. xxi. 10; Num. xxxv. 25, [later UNI 7113, 2 K. xxv. 18; 2 Chr. xix. 11, εἴς. }) : Mt. xxvi. 3, and often in the Gospels, the Acts, and the Ep. to the Heb. It was lawful for him to perform the common duties of the priesthood; but his chief duty was, once a year on the day of atonement, to enter the Holy of holies (from which the other priests were excluded) and offer sacrifice for his own sins and the sins of the people (Lev. xvi.; Heb. ix. 7, 25), and to preside over the Sanhedrin, or supreme Council, when convened for judicial deliberations (Mt. xxvi. 3; Acts xxii. ὃ; xxiii. 2). According to the Mosaic law no one could aspire to the high-priesthood unless he were of the tribe of Aaron, and descended moreover from a high-priestly family…

High priest
Aaron was the first who was solemnly set apart to this office (Ex. 29:7; 30:23; Lev. 8:12). He wore a peculiar dress, which on his death passed to his successor in office (Ex. 29:29, 30). Besides those garments which he wore in common with all priests, there were four that were peculiar to himself as high priest:
(1.) The “robe” of the ephod, all of blue, of “woven work,” worn immediately under the ephod. It was without seam or sleeves. The hem or skirt was ornamented with pomegranates and golden bells, seventy-two of each in alternate order. The sounding of the bells intimated to the people in the outer court the time when the high priest entered into the holy place to burn incense before the Lord (Ex. 28).

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete.

δύναμαι, transliterated as dunamai, means 'to be able' or 'to have power.' It can refer to personal ability, permission, or opportunity. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:24 and Mark 2:7. The lexicons indicate that it can be used with an infinitive or an accusative, but there is some variation in the forms and usages noted in different sources.

a'-b'-l: The Greek dunamai, "to have power," may refer either to inherent strength, or to the absence of in external obstacles, or to what may be allowable or permitted. The Greek ischuo, as in Lu 13:24; Joh 21:6, refers always to the first of the above meanings. The use of the word as an adjective the King James Version of 2Co 3:6, is misleading, and has been properly changed in the Revised Version (British and American) into "sufficient as ministers," i.e. "hath fitted us to be ministers."

The Greek word συμπαθέω (i.e., sumpatheō) combines the prefix for 'with' and a root meaning 'to feel'. It means to sympathize or have compassion, often used in the context of sharing feelings with others. In the New Testament, it appears in Hebrews 4:15 and 10:34, where it conveys a sense of shared suffering or compassion.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

Deissmann (ZAZ p. 134 ff.) has drawn attention to the parallels to the solemn use of the first personal pronoun in the Fourth Gospel that may be adduced from inscriptions and magical texts. Thus in an inscr. in honour of Isis from Ios, written in ii/iii A.p., the contents of which are preChristian, we find —Elows ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ τ[ύρανν]ος πάσης χόρας.. ἐγὼ νόμους ἀνθρώποις ἐθέμην . . ἐγώ εἰμι Kpdvov θυγάτηρ πρεσβυτάτη α΄. And similarly in the magical papyrus P Lond 4645 (iv/a.p.) (=I. p. 69) ἐγώ εἰμι ὃ ἀκέφαλος δαίμων . . ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀλήθεια ὁ μεισῶν ἀδικήματα γείνεσθαι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ α΄.

πειράζω (peirazō) means to test or attempt, often with the implication of proving something's quality or character. It can refer to both positive trials, such as those permitted by God, and negative temptations, such as attempts to lead someone into sin. The New Testament uses it in contexts like testing faith (1 Cor. 10:13) and the temptations of Jesus (Mt. 4:1). The term is closely related to δοκιμάζω (dokímazō), but they are not synonymous.
THESE words occur not seldom together, as at 2 Cor. xiii. 5; Ps. xciv. 10 (at Heb. iii. 9 the better reading is ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ) ; but notwithstanding that they are both in our English Version rendered ‘ prove’ (Luke xiv. 19; John vi. 6), both ‘try’ (1 Cor. iii. 18; Rev. ii. 2), both ‘examine’ (1 Cor. xi. 28 ; 2 Cor. xiii. 5), they are not perfectly synonymous. In δοκιpatew, which has four other renderings in our Version,— namely, ‘discern’ (Luke xii. 56); ‘like’ (Rom. i. 28); ‘approve’ (Rom. ii. 18); ‘allow’ (Rom. xiv. 22),—lies ever the notion of proving a thing whether it be worthy to be received or not, being, as it is, nearly connected with δέχεσθαι. In classical Greek it is the technical word for putting money to the δοκιμή or proof, by aid of the δοκίμιον or test (Plato, Timeus, 65 c; Plutarch, Def. Orac. 21) ; that which endures this proof being δόκιμος, that which fails ἀδόκιμος…

It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived.

PREP PREPosition
A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived.

In the sense of "against" which survives only in dialectal English (compare Wright, Dialect Dict., I, 470, for examples) is the King James Version rendering of the dative emauto of 1Co 4:4 (the American Standard Revised Version renders this "against"). In classical Greek the same idiom sunoida with dative = "be conscious" or "be cognizant of" a thing.
By
In the expression “by myself” (A.V., 1 Cor. 4:4), means, as rendered in the Revised Version, “against myself.”

The Greek word ὁμοιότης (i.e., *homoiotēs*) means 'likeness' or 'resemblance.' It is derived from ὅμοιος and is used in contexts such as Hebrews 4:15 and 7:15, where it refers to similarity or manner of being. The lexicons agree on its basic meaning, but some provide additional nuances regarding its usage in various texts.

ὁμοιότης. The phrase καθ᾽ ὁμοιότητα, as in Heb 475, 715, in the somewhat weakened sense of ‘‘in the same way as” is found with a gen. dependent upon it in BGU IV. 102815 «ε ομοιωμα (ii/A.D.) ἐπὶ τῆς ἐξετάσεω[ς] κ[α]7θ᾽ ὁμοιότητία) ἑτέρας ἐξετίάσεως), PSI I. τογξ (end of ii/A.p.) καθ᾽ ὁ[μο]ήιότητα ἑτέρων δούλων, and P Oxy IX. 1202*4 (a.p. 217) κατὰ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον προσφεύγω σοι ἀξιῶν ἐνταγῆναι κἀμοῦ τὸν υἱὸν τῇ τῶν ἐφήβων γραφῇ καθ᾽ ὁμοιότητα τῶν σὺν αὐτῷ, ““1 perforce have recourse to you, requesting that my son too may be entered in the list of the ephebi in the same way as his companions” (Ed.).

χωρίς (chōris) is an adverb meaning 'separately' or 'apart from.' It can also function as a preposition with the genitive, indicating separation or absence, as seen in various New Testament verses like John 20:7 and Romans 3:21. The word conveys a sense of being distinct or independent, and it can imply a lack of connection or association with something.

The Greek word ἁμαρτία (i.e., *hamartia*) primarily means 'sin' or 'failure to hit the mark.' It encompasses ethical wrongdoing and is used in the New Testament to describe both individual acts of sin and the overarching principle of sin as a dominating force in human life. Various lexicons note its use in contexts such as guilt and the nature of sin, with references in Romans and John highlighting its significance in Christian theology.
παράβασις, παράπτωμα, ἀγνόημα, ἥττημα. A MOURNFULLY numerous group of words, and one which it would be only too easy to make larger still. Nor is it hard to see why. For sin, which we may define in the 240 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. ϑιυχνι. language of Augustine, as ‘ factum vel dictuin yel concuvitum aliquid contra eternam legem’ (Con. Faust. xxii. 27; cf. the Stoic definition, ἁμάρτημα, νόμου ἀπαγόρευμα, Plutarch, De Rep. Stoic. 11); or again, ‘ voluntas admittendi vel retinendi quod justitia vetat, et unde liberum est abstinere’ (Con. Jul. i. 47), may be regarded under an infinite number of aspects, and in all languages has been so regarded; and as the diagnosis of it belongs most of all to the Scriptures, nowhere else are we likely to find it contemplated on so many sides, set forth under such various images. It may be regarded as the missing of a mark or aim; it is then ἁμαρτία…

Sin
Is “any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God” (1 John 3:4; Rom. 4:15), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission (Rom. 6:12-17; 7:5-24). It is “not a mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system of things, but an offence against a personal lawgiver and moral governor who vindicates his law with penalties. The soul that sins is always conscious that his sin is (1) intrinsically vile and polluting, and (2) that it justly deserves punishment, and calls down the righteous wrath of God. Hence sin carries with it two inalienable characters, (1) ill-desert, guilt (reatus); and (2) pollution (macula).”, Hodge’s…
a city of Egypt, mentioned only by Ezekiel. (Ezekiel 30:15,16) The name is Hebrew, or at least Semitic, perhaps signifying clay . It is identified in the Vulgate with Pelusium, "the clayey or muddy" town. Its antiquity may perhaps be inferred from the mention of "the wilderness of Sin" in the journeys of the Israelites. (Exodus 16:1; Numbers 33:11) Ezekiel speaks of Sin as "Sin the strongholds of Egypt." (Ezekiel 30:15) This place was held by Egypt from that time until the period of the Romans. Herodotus relates that Sennacherib advanced against Pelusium, and that near Pelusium Cambyses defeated Psammenitus. In like manner the decisive battle in which Ochus defeated the…
1. Any thought, word, desire, action, or omission of action, contrary to the law of God, or defective when compared with it.
The origin of sin is a subject which baffles all investigation; and our inquiries are much better directed when we seek through Christ a release from its penalty and power, for ourselves and the world. Its entrance into the world, and infection of the whole human race, its nature, forms, and effects, and its fatal possession of every unregenerate soul, are fully described in the Bible, Ge 6:5 Ps 51:5 Mt 15:19 Ro 5:12 Jas 1:14,15.
