A High Priest Like Melchizedek

3 For the which infirmities sake, he is bound to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples. 4 And no man taketh honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5 Even so, likewise, Christ glorified not himself, to be made the high priest: but he that said unto him. "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee."
