Chapter 5

1


 

  For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:  

 

 

--

2


 

  Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.  

 

 

--

3


 

  And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.  

 

 

--

5


 

  So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.  

 

 

--

6


 

  As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.  

 

 

--

8


 

  And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:  

 

 

--

9


 

  And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.  

 

 

--

12


 

  For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  

 

 

--

13


 

  For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.  

 

 

--

14


 

  But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.
