Hebrews 5

¹For every high Priest taken from among men, is appointed for men in those things that pertain to God: that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:

²that can have compassion on them that be ignorant and do err: because himself also is compassed with infirmity:

³& therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins.

⁴Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called of God, as Aaron.

⁵So Christ also did not glorify himself that he might be made a high priest; but he that spake to him, My Son art thou, I this day have begotten thee.

⁶As also in another place he saith, Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.

⁷Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering prayers and supplications to him that could save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

⁸And truly whereas he was the Son, he learned by those things which he suffered, obedience:

⁹and being consummate, was made to all that obey him, cause of eternal salvation,

¹⁰called of God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.

¹¹Of whom we have great speech and inexplicable to utter: because you are become weak to hear.

¹²For whereas you ought to be masters for your time, you need to be taught again yourselves what be the elements of the beginning of the words of God: & you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

¹³For every one that is partaker of milk, is unskillful of the word of justice: for he is a child.

¹⁴But strong meat is for the perfect, them that by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.
