Hebrews, Chapter 5

1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; 2 a Lit being able tohe can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also isb Or subject to weaknessbeset with weakness; 3 and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself. 4 And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.
5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him,
“YOU ARE MY SON,
TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU”;
6 just as He says also in another passage,
“YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER
ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”
7 c I.e. during Christ’s earthly lifeIn the days of His flesh,d Lit who having offered upHe offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Hime Or out offrom death, and Hef Lit having been heardwas heard because of His piety. 8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. 9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10 being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Concerningg Lit whom or whichhim we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For thoughh Lit because of the timeby this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you thei Lit elements of the beginningelementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
