KumaHebheru 5:1-10

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo mphristi omkhulu okhethwa kubantu, umiselwa abantu kokukaNkulunkulu, ukuze anikele izipho nemihlatshelo ngenxa yezono; ukuba babaphathe kahle labo abangazi nabadukayo, lokhu naye uhaqwe ngubuthakathaka; ngenxa yabo, kufanele ukuba njengalokhu enikela imihlatshelo ngenxa yezono zabantu, anikele kanjalo nangezakhe. Akukho muntu ozithathela leso sikhundla, kodwa uyabizwa nguNkulunkulu njengalokhu kwaba njalo naku-Aroni. Kanjalo noKhristu akazinikanga Yena udumo lokuba ngumPhristi Omkhulu, kodwa wadunyiswa yilowo owakhuluma kuye wathi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami; namuhla ngikuzele.” Njengalokhu esho kwenye indawo, ethi: “Wena ungumphristi kuze kube phakade ngokokuma kukaMelkhizedeki.” Okwathi ngezinsuku esesemhlabeni wanikela ngemikhuleko, nangokunxusa, nangokukhala okukhulu, nangezinyembezi kulowo onamandla okumsindisa ekufeni; wezwakala ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu. Nakuba eyiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho, okuthe esephelelisiwe waba ngumthombo wensindiso yaphakade kubo bonke abamlalelayo. Wabizwa nguNkulunkulu ngokuthi ungumphristi omkhulu ngokokuma kukaMelkhizedeki.
