Hebrews 5

For every high priest, being taken from among men on the behalf of men, is appointed {in} the things related to God so that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins;

being able to deal gently with the ones being ignorant and being deceived, because he also is subject to weakness.

And because of this, he is obligated, just as for the people, so also for himself, to offer {sacrifices} for sins. \*

And no one takes this honor for himself, but {only} being called by God, just as also Aaron {was}.

In the same way also, Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest. Instead, the one having spoken to him {said}, “You are my Son; today I have fathered you.” \*

{It is} just as he also says in another {place}, “You {are} a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” \*

He, during the days of his flesh, offered up both prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to the one being able to save him from death and he was heard because of his godly life.

Even though being a son, he learned obedience from {the things} which he suffered. \*

And having been made perfect, he became, for all the ones obeying him, the source of eternal salvation,

having been designated by God {as} high priest, according to the order of Melchizedek,

concerning whom the message to us {is} great, but hard to speak {about} since you have become dull in your hearing. \*

For even though by this time you ought to be teachers, you again have need of someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have become ones having a need of milk, not solid food!

For anyone partaking of milk {is} inexperienced {with the} message of righteousness, because he is an infant.

But this solid food is for the mature ones, having through habit trained their senses for distinguishing both {what is} good and {what is} evil. \*
