Hebrews 5

5
1For 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, 2being able to deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is #5:2 Or subject to weaknessbeset with weakness; 3and because of it, he is obligated, just as for the people, to also offer sacrifices for sins in the same way for himself. 4And no one takes this honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.
5In this way also Christ did not glorify Himself to become a high priest, but He who said to Him,
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”;
6just as He says also in another passage,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
7He, #5:7 During Christ’s earthly lifein the days of His flesh, #5:7 Lit who having offered upoffered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him #5:7 Or out offrom death, and He #5:7 Lit having been heardwas heard because of His reverence. 8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. 9And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11Concerning #5:11 Lit whom, whichhim we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12For though #5:12 Lit because of the timeby this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the #5:12 Lit elementary principles of the beginningelementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14But solid food is for the #5:14 Or perfect, cf. 5:9mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern both good and evil.
