Hebrews 5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained
for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and
sacrifices for sins: 2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on
them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with
infirmity. 3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also
for himself, to offer for sins. 4 And no man taketh this honour unto
himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5 So also
Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto
him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also
in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec. 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up
prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to
save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 Though he were
a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And
being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that
obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of
Melchisedec. 11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be
uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye
ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the
first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of
milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is
unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But
strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
