Hebrews 5
5
1For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. 3Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. 4And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

Ps 2.7. So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,
“Thou art my Son,
today I have begotten thee”;

Ps 110.4. as he says also in another place,
“Thou art a priest for ever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”

Mt 26.36-46; Mk 14.32-42; Lk 22.40-46. In the days of his flesh, Jesus#5.7 Greek he offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear. 8Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; 9#Is 45.17. and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10#Ps 110.4. being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food; 13for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a child. 14But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

Hebrews 5
5
A High Priest Like Melchizedek
1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in the things relating to God, in order that he can offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins, 2being able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself also is surrounded by weakness, 3and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself also, as well as for the people#Literally “as for the people so also for himself”. 4And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also was. 5Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him,
“You are my Son, today I have begotten you,”#A quotation from Ps 2:7
6just as also in another place he says,
“You are a priest forever#Literally “for the age” according to the order of Melchizedek,”#A quotation from Ps 110:4
7who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard as a result of his reverence. 8Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered, 9and being perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him, 10being designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Advanced Teaching Hindered by Immaturity
11Concerning this#Literally “which” we have much to say and it is difficult to explain#Literally “great for us the message and hard to explain to say”, since you have become sluggish in hearing. 12For indeed, although you#*Here “although” is supplied as a component of the participle (“ought”) which is understood as concessive ought to be teachers by this time#Literally “because of the time”, you have need of someone to teach you again the beginning elements of the oracles of God, and you have need of#Literally “you are having need of” milk, not#Some manuscripts have “and not” solid food. 13For everyone who partakes of milk is unacquainted with the message of righteousness, because he is an infant. 14But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have trained their faculties for the distinguishing of both good and evil.
