1 For euery hye priest taken from among men, is ordeined for men, in things parteynyng to God, to offer gyftes & sacrifices for sinne: 2 Which can sufficiently haue compassion on the ignoraunt, & on them that erre out of the waye, forasmuche as he hym selfe also is compassed with infirmitie. 3 And for ye same infirmitie he is bounde to offer for sinnes, aswell for hym selfe, as for the people. 4 And no man taketh the honour vnto hym selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5 Euen so, Christ also glorified not hym selfe to be made ye hye priest: but he that sayde vnto hym, thou art my sonne, to day haue I begotten thee gaue it hym. 6 As he saith also in another place: thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech.
