Hebrews 5:4-10

4No one takes this honor for himself. Instead, God calls him as he called Aaron.

5So Christ did not take the glory of being a chief priest for himself. Instead, the glory was given to him by God, who said, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”

6In another place in Scripture, God said, “You are a priest forever, in the way Melchizedek was a priest.”

7During his life on earth, Jesus prayed to God, who could save him from death. He prayed and pleaded with loud crying and tears, and he was heard because of his devotion to God.

8Although Jesus was the Son ⌞of God⌟, he learned to be obedient through his sufferings.

9After he had finished his work, he became the source of eternal salvation for everyone who obeys him.

10God appointed him chief priest in the way Melchizedek was a priest.
