Hebrews:5

* For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God , that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins : * Who can have compassion on the ignorant , and on them that are out of the way ; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity . * And by reason hereof he ought , as for the people , so also for himself , to offer for sins . * And no man takes this honor unto himself , but he that is called of God , as was Aaron . * So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest ; but he that said unto him , You are my Son , today have I begotten you . * As he says also in another place , You are a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec . * Who in the days of his flesh , when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death , and was heard in that he feared ; * Though he were a Son , yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered ; * And being made perfect , he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him ; * Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec . * Of whom we have many things to say , and hard to be uttered , seeing you are dull of hearing . * For when for the time you ought to be teachers , you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God ; and have become such as have need of milk , and not of strong food . * For every one that uses milk is unskillfully in the word of righteousness : for he is a babe . * But strong food belongs to them that are of full age , even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil .
