KumaHeberu 5:1-10

Ngokuba wonke umpristi omkhulu othathwa kubantu umiselwa abantu kokukaNkulunkulu, ukuze anikele izipho nemihlatshelo ngenxa yezono; Ongaba nesihawu kwabangazi nakwabadukayo; ngokuba naye uqobo uzungezwe ubuthakathaka. Ngakho ngenxa yalokhu ufanele ukuthi, njengalokhu enikela ngezono zabantu, ngokunjalo laye ngokwakhe. Akakho ozithathela lolu dumo, kuphela obizwe nguNkulunkulu njengo-Aroni. Kanjalo noKristu akazikhazimulisanga yena ukuba abe ngumpristi omkhulu; kodwa owathi kuye: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla ngikuzele. Njengoba esho nakwenye indawo ukuthi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki. Owathi emihleni yenyama yakhe, lapho enikele imikhuleko nokunxusa ngokukhala okunamandla nezinyembezi kuye onamandla okumsindisa ekufeni, wezwiwa ngokwesaba kwakhe; Noma ebeyiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho; futhi esephelelisiwe, waba yinhloko yensindiso ephakade kubo bonke abamlalelayo; ebizwa ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu umpristi omkhulu ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki.
