Hebrews:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 taketh this honour unto himself ,
but he that is called of God ,
as was Aaron .
*
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest ;
but he that said unto him ,
Thou art my Son ,
to day have I begotten thee .
*
As he saith also in another place ,
Thou art a priest for ever 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 an high priest after the order of Melchisedec .
*
Of whom we have many things to say ,
and hard to be uttered ,
seeing ye are dull of hearing .
*
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers ,
ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God ;
and are become such as have need of milk ,
and not of strong meat .
*
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness :
for he is a babe .
*
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age ,
even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil .
