For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Christ as High Priest

The verse focuses on the shared nature and relationship between "he that sanctifieth" and "they who are sanctified," emphasizing their unity and brotherhood, rather than any specific priestly function or role of mediation, intercession, or sacrifice. The text does not mention priesthood, sacrifice, or the Melchizedek connection.
