Hebrews 5

New International Version NIV

1 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.

3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.

5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”

6 And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered

9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him

10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.

12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.

14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Every chief priest is chosen from humans to represent them in front of God, that is, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sin.

2 The chief priest can be gentle with people who are ignorant and easily deceived, because he also has weaknesses.

3 Because he has weaknesses, he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins in the same way that he does for the sins of his people.

4 No one takes this honor for himself. Instead, God calls him as he called Aaron.

5 So Christ did not take the glory of being a chief priest for himself. Instead, the glory was given to him by God, who said, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father."

6 In another place in Scripture, God said, "You are a priest forever, in the way Melchizedek was a priest."

7 During his life on earth, Jesus prayed to God, who could save him from death. He prayed and pleaded with loud crying and tears, and he was heard because of his devotion to God.

8 Although Jesus was the Son [of God], he learned to be obedient through his sufferings.

9 After he had finished his work, he became the source of eternal salvation for everyone who obeys him.

10 God appointed him chief priest in the way Melchizedek was a priest.

11 We have a lot to explain about this. But since you have become too lazy to pay attention, explaining it to you is hard.

12 By now you should be teachers. Instead, you still need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word. You need milk, not solid food.

13 All those who live on milk lack the experience to talk about what is right. They are still babies.

14 However, solid food is for mature people, whose minds are trained by practice to know the difference between good and evil.
