Hebrews 5:1-10 - A High Priest Like Melchizedek

¹ For every chief priest taken from men is appointed for men for things to God, that he bring both gifts and sacrifices for sins: ² Being able to moderate the passions to the ignorant, and deceived; since he also is surrounded with weakness. ³ And for this he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to bring in for sins. ⁴ And not any takes this honour to himself; but the called of God, as also Aaron. ⁵ So also Christ honoured not himself, to become chief priest; but he having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. ⁶ And also in another he says, Thou a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedec.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, both prayers and supplications to him able to save him from death, with strong crying and tears, having offered, and listened to by means of circumspection; ⁸ Although being a Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered; ⁹ And being perfected, he became to all them lending a willing ear to him the origin of eternal salvation ¹⁰ Addressed by God the chief priest according to the order of Melchisedec.
