Hebrews 5

MSTC^{(i) 1} For every high priest that is taken from among men is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins: ² which can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the high way, because that he himself also is compassed with infirmity: ³ For the which infirmities sake, he is bound to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples. ⁴ And no man taketh honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. ⁵ Even so, likewise, Christ glorified not himself, to be made the high priest: but he that said unto him. "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee." ⁶ As he also in another place speaketh, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek." ⁷ Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death: and was also heard, because of his godliness. ⁸ And though he were God's son, yet learned he obedience, by those things which he suffered, ⁹ and was made perfect, and the cause of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him: ¹⁰ and is called of God a high priest, after the order of Melchizedek. ¹¹ Whereof we have many things to say which are hard to be uttered: because ye are dull of hearing. ¹² For when as concerning the time, ye ought to be teachers, yet have ye need again that we teach you the first principles of the word of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat: ¹³ For every man that is fed with milk is inexpert in the word of righteousness: For he is but a babe. ¹⁴ But strong meat belongeth to them that are perfect, which through custom have their wits exercised, to judge both good and evil also.
