Hebrews 5:4-6

4And ano one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, bjust as Aaron was.

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

dYou are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
6as he says also in another place,

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