Hebrews 5:1-6 ▼

1 Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness

3 and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.

4 No one takes this honor upon himself but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.

5 In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him: “You are my son; this day I have begotten you”;

6 just as he says in another place: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”
