Chapter of the New Testament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hebrews 3 is the third chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The author is anonymous, although the internal reference to "our brother Timothy" (Hebrews 13:23) causes a traditional attribution to Paul, but this attribution has been disputed since the second century and there is no decisive evidence for the authorship.[1][2] This chapter contains the comparison of Moses to Jesus ('the Son'), as well as the application and warning for the congregation.[3][4]
