Study Lenses

The verse centers on "seeing", "haue", "great", "priest", "entred", "heauen", "euen", and "iesus". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "seeing" and "haue", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 13's "Neither is there any creature which is..." into verse 15's "For we haue not an hie Priest...", so "seeing" and "haue" belong inside that flow. In Hebrews context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "seeing" and "haue" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
