Hebrews 5

King James Version KJV

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 unskilful 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.

1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in the things relating to God, in order that he can offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins,

2 being able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself also is surrounded by weakness,

3 and because of it he is obligated to offer [sacrifices] for sins {for himself also, as well as for the people}.

4 And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also [was].

5 Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you,"<note: A quotation from Ps 2:7>

6 just as also in another [place] he says, "You [are] a priest {forever}<note: Literally "for the age"> according to the order of Melchizedek,"<note: A quotation from Ps 110:4>

7 who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard as a result of his reverence.

8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered,

9 and being perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him,

10 being designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

11 Concerning this {we have much to say and it is difficult to explain}, since you have become sluggish in hearing.

12 For indeed, [although you] ought to be teachers {by this time}, you have need of someone to teach you again the beginning elements of the oracles of God, and {you have need of} milk, not solid food.

13 For everyone who partakes of milk [is] unacquainted with the message of righteousness, because he is an infant.

14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have trained their faculties for the distinguishing of both good and evil.
