Hebrews 5
5
CHAPTER 5
1For each bishop taken of men, is ordained for men in these things that be to God, that he offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2Which may together sorrow with them, that be unknowing, and err; for also he is environed with infirmity.
3And therefore he oweth, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4Neither any man taketh to him honour, but he that is called of God, as Aaron was.
5So Christ clarified not himself, that he were bishop, but he that spake to him, Thou art my Son, today I engendered thee.
6As in another place he saith, Thou art a priest without end, after the order of Melchizedek.
7Which in the days of his flesh offered, with great cry and tears, prayers and beseechings to him that might make him safe from death, and was heard for his reverence.
8And when he was God’s Son, he learned obedience of these things that he suffered;
9and he brought to the end [or he led to perfection] is made cause of everlasting health to all that obey him,
10 and is called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchizedek.
11Of whom there is to us a great word for to say, and able to be expounded, for ye be made feeble to hear.
12For when ye ought to be masters for a time, again ye need that ye be taught, which be the letters [or the elements] of the beginning of God’s words. And ye be made those, to whom is need of milk, and not [of] firm meat.
13For each that is partner of milk, is without part of the word of rightwiseness, for he is a little child.
14But of perfect men is firm meat, of them that for custom have [their] wits exercised to discretion of good and of evil.
