Hebrews 5:1-6

1 For every high priest chosen from among men ^ais appointed to act on behalf of men ^bin relation to God, ^cto offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 ^dHe can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself ^eis beset with weakness. 3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins ^fjust as he does for those of the people. 4 And ^gno one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, ^hjust as Aaron was.

5 So also Christ ⁱdid not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

^j“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
6 as he says also in another place,

^k“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
