Hebrews 5

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.

who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;

Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.

So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”

So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee:

As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”

as he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;

Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;

named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.

For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.

But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
