Hebrews 5:1-6 ▼

1 For every chief priest taken out of men is set in things [pertaining] to God in behalf of men, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

2 being able to be gentle to those being ignorant and going astray, since he is also surrounded with weakness;

3 and because of this [weakness] he ought, just as for the people, so also for himself, to bring forward [sacrifices] for sins;

4 and no one takes the honor to himself, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron.

5 So also the Christ did not glorify Himself to become Chief Priest, but He who spoke to Him: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”;

6 just as He also says in another [place], “You [are] a priest throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”;
