Hebrews 5:7-14

7 1In the days of His flesh, 2 3He offered up both prayers and supplications with 4loud crying and tears to the One 5able to save Him 6from death, and He 7was heard because of His 8piety. 8Although He was 9a Son, He learned 10obedience from the things which He suffered. 9And having been made 11perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10being designated by God as 12a high priest according to 13the order of Melchizedek.

11Concerning 14him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12For though 15by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you 16the 17 18elementary principles of the 19oracles of God, and you have come to need 20milk and not solid food. 13For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an 21infant. 14But solid food is for 22the mature, who because of practice have their senses 23trained to 24discern good and evil.
