The Perfect High Priest

1For everyG3956 highG749 priestG749 1takenG2983 from amongG1537 menG444 is appointedG2525 on behalfG5228 of menG444 in 2things pertainingG4314 to GodG2316, in orderG2443 to 3offerG4374 bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 4for sinsG266; 256he canG1410 dealG3356 gentlyG3356 with the 7ignorantG50 and 8misguidedG4105, sinceG1893 he himselfG846 alsoG2532 is 910besetG4029 with weaknessG769; 3and becauseG1223 of it he is obligatedG3784 to offerG4374 sacrifices 11for sinsG266, 12as for the peopleG2992, soG3779 alsoG2532 for himselfG1438. 4And 13noG3756 oneG5100 takesG2983 the honorG5092 to himselfG1438, but receives it when he is calledG2564 by GodG2316, evenG2531 14as AaronG2 was.

5SoG3779 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 15did not glorifyG1392 HimselfG1438 so as to becomeG1096 a 16highG749 priestG749, but He whoG5101 17saidG2980 to Him, “18You are My SonG5207, TodayG4594 I have begottenG1080 You”; 6justG2531 as He saysG3004 alsoG2532 in anotherG2087 passage, “19You are a priestG2409 foreverG165 AccordingG2596 to 20the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.” 721In the daysG2250 of His fleshG4561, 2223He offeredG4374 up bothG5037 prayersG1162 and supplicationsG2428 with 24loudG2478 cryingG2906 and tearsG1144 to the One 25ableG1410 to saveG4982 Him 26from deathG2288, and He 27was heardG1522 becauseG575 of His 28pietyG2124. 8AlthoughG2539 He was 29a SonG5207, He learnedG3129 30obedienceG5218 from the things whichG3739 He sufferedG3958. 9And having been madeG5048 31perfectG5048, He becameG1096 to allG3956 thoseG3588 who obeyG5219 Him the sourceG159 of eternalG166 salvationG4991, 10being designatedG4316 by GodG2316 as 32a highG749 priestG749 accordingG2596 to 33the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.

11ConcerningG4012 34him we have muchG4183 to sayG3056, and it is hardG1421 to explainG1421, sinceG1893 you have becomeG1096 dullG3576 of hearingG189. 12For thoughG2532 35by thisG3588 timeG5550 you oughtG3784 to be teachersG1320, you haveG2192 needG5532 againG3825 for someoneG5100 to teachG1321 you 36the 3738elementaryG4747G746 principlesG4747 of the 39oraclesG3051 of GodG2316, and you have comeG1096 to needG5532 40milkG1051 and not solidG4731 foodG5160. 13For everyoneG3956 who partakesG3348 only of milkG1051 is not accustomedG552 to the wordG3056 of righteousnessG1343, for he is an 41infantG3516. 14But solidG4731 foodG5160 is for 42the matureG5046, who becauseG1223 of practiceG1838 haveG2192 their sensesG145 43trainedG1128 to 44discernG1253 goodG2570 and evilG2556.
