Hebrews 5:1-10

1For every high priest 1taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in 2things pertaining to God, in order to 3offer both gifts and sacrifices 4for sins; 2 5 6he can deal gently with the 7ignorant and 8misguided, since he himself also is 9 10clothed in weakness; 3and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices 11for sins for himself, 12as well as for the people. 4And 13no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just 14as Aaron also was.

5So too Christ 15did not glorify Himself in becoming a 16high priest, but it was He who 17said to Him, “18You are My Son, Today I have fathered You”; 6just as He also says in another passage, “19You are a priest forever According to 20the order of Melchizedek.” 7In the days of 21His humanity, 22 23He offered up both prayers and pleas with 24loud crying and tears to the One 25able to save Him 26from death, and He 27was heard because of His 28devout behavior. 8Although He was 29a Son, He learned 30obedience from the things which He suffered. 9And having been 31perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him, 10being designated by God as 32High Priest according to 33the order of Melchizedek.
