Hebrews 5:1–10

¹For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; ²being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity; ³and, on account of this infirmity, he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. ⁴And no one takes the honour to himself but as called by God, even as Aaron also. ⁵Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee. ⁶Even as also in another place he says, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. ⁷Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety;) ⁸though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered; ⁹and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation;

¹⁰addressed by God as high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.
