Hebrews 5

The Perfect High Priest

1 For every high priest ^ataken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in ^bthings pertaining to God, in order to ^coffer both gifts and sacrifices ^dfor sins; 2 ^{▼▼ Lit being able to
,} ^fhe can deal gently with the ^gignorant and ^hmisguided, since he himself also is ^{▼▼ Or subject to weakness
,} ^jbeset with weakness; 3 and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices ^kfor sins, ^las for the people, so also for himself. 4 And ^mno one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even ⁿas Aaron was.

5 So also Christ ^odid not glorify Himself so as to become a ^phigh priest, but He who ^qsaid to Him, ^r“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”;

6 just as He says also in another passage, ^s“You are a priest forever
According to ^t the order of Melchizedek.”

7 ^{▼▼ I.e. during Christ’s earthly life}In the days of His flesh, ^{▼▼ Lit who having offered up
,} ^wHe offered up both prayers and supplications with ^xloud crying and tears to the One ^yable to save Him ^{▼▼ Or out of}from death, and He ^{▼▼ Lit having been heard}was heard because of His ^abpiety. 8 Although He was ^aca Son, He learned ^adobedience from the things which He suffered. 9 And having been made ^aeperfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10 being designated by God as ^afa high priest according to ^agthe order of Melchizedek.

11 Concerning ^{▼▼ Lit whom or which}him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though ^{▼▼ Lit because of the time}by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you ^ajthe ^{▼▼ Lit elements of the beginning
,} ^alelementary principles of the ^amoracles of God, and you have come to need ^anmilk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an ^aoinfant. 14 But solid food is for ^apthe mature, who because of practice have their senses ^aqtrained to ^ardiscern good and evil.
