The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 5
{5:1} For every high priest, being taken from among men, is
appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both
gifts and sacrifices for sins. {5:2} The high priest can deal gently
with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is
also surrounded with weakness. {5:3} Because of this, he must offer
sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself. {5:4}
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like
Aaron was. {5:5} So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a
high priest, but it was he who said to him,
"You are my Son.
Today I have become your father."[1]
{5:6} As he says also in another place,
"You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek."[2]
{5:7} He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and
petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him
from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, {5:8} though he
was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
{5:9} Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him
the author of eternal salvation, {5:10} named by God a high priest
after the order of Melchizedek. {5:11} About him we have many words to
say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
{5:12} For when by reason of the time you ought to be teachers, you
again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first
principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not
solid food. {5:13} For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced
in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby. {5:14} But solid food
is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern good and evil.
