Hebrews 5

The Message Bible MSG

1 Every high priest selected to represent men and women before God and offer sacrifices for their sins

2 should be able to deal gently with their failings, since he knows what it's like from his own experience.

3 But that also means that he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as the people's.

4 No one elects himself to this honored position. He's called to it by God, as Aaron was.

5 Neither did Christ presume to set himself up as high priest, but was set apart by the One who said to him, "You're my Son; today I celebrate you!"

6 In another place God declares, "You're a priest forever in the royal order of Melchizedek."

7 While he lived on earth, anticipating death, Jesus cried out in pain and wept in sorrow as he offered up priestly prayers to God. Because he honored God, God answered him.

8 Though he was God's Son, he learned trusting-obedience by what he suffered, just as we do.

9 Then, having arrived at the full stature of his maturity and having been announced by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek,

10 he became the source of eternal salvation to all who believingly obey him.

11 I have a lot more to say about this, but it is hard to get it across to you since you've picked up this bad habit of not listening.

12 By this time you ought to be teachers yourselves, yet here I find you need someone to sit down with you and go over the basics on God again, starting from square one - baby's milk, when you should have been on solid food long ago!

13 Milk is for beginners, inexperienced in God's ways;

14 solid food is for the mature, who have some practice in telling right from wrong.

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

2 he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;

3 and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.

4 And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";

6 just as He says also in another passage, "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

7 In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.

8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

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

11 Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
