1 For every high priest, being received from men, presides over men in the things appertaining to God, in order that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2 being able to sympathize with the ignorant and erring, since himself is also compassed about with infirmity; 3 and on this account he has need, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4 And no one takes this honor to himself, but the one called of God, as indeed Aaron was. 5 Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee: Hebrews 5:1-5, Godbey New Testament.
