Hebrews 5:1-10 - A High Priest Like Melchizedek
1 For every chief priest taken from men is appointed in behalf of men over things relating to God, that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins, 2 being able to deal gently with the ignorant and erring, since he is himself encompassed with infirmity, 3 and as for the people, so also for himself, he is obliged to present offerings for sins. 4 And no one takes the honor on himself but he that is called by God, even as Aaron also was. 5 So also Christ did not put on himself the honor of being made a chief priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee; 6 as also in another place he says, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of his flesh having offered both prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, with loud cries and tears, [and being heard and delivered] from fear,??8 although he was a Son, learned obedience from what he suffered, 9 and being made perfect became to all who obey him an author of eternal salvation, 10 being called by God a chief priest after the order of Melchisedec.
