Why He was tempted like us
For verily he took not on him the
nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Wherefore in all things it behoved him
to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high
priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the
people.
For in that he himself hath suffered
being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
