Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Hebrews 2:17–18For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.2 Corinthians 5:21God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.Isaiah 53:4–5Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted.1 John 3:5But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.1 Peter 2:22“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”Philippians 2:7–8but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.Romans 8:26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.Hebrews 7:26Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.John 11:35Jesus wept.Hebrews 4:14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.Philippians 2:7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.Matthew 8:16–17When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.Matthew 14:14When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.Hebrews 5:2He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.John 8:46Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?John 5:6When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”Isaiah 53:3He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.John 14:30I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.
