\v 1 For every high priest, chosen from among people, is appointed to act on the behalf of people in the things regarding God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
|
|
\v 2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and the wayward because he himself also is surrounded with weakness.
|
|
\v 3 Because of this, he also is required to bring sacrifices for his own sins, just as he does for the sins of the people.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 4 And it is not for himself that anyone takes this honor. Instead, he is called by God, just as Aaron was.
|
|
\v 5 So neither did Christ honor himself by making himself high priest. Instead, the one speaking to him said,
|
|
\q "You are my Son;
|
|
\q today I have become your Father."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 6 It is just as he also says in another place,
|
|
\q "You are a priest forever
|
|
\q after the manner of Melchizedek."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 7 Who, in the days of his flesh, offered up both prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to the one able to save him from death. He was heard because of his piety.
|
|
\v 8 Even though he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 9 He was made perfect and became, for everyone who obeys him, the cause of eternal salvation.
|
|
\v 10 He was designated by God as high priest after the manner of Melchizedek.
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 11 We have much to say about Jesus, but it is hard to explain since you have become dull in hearing.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 12 For though by this time you should be teachers, you still have need for someone teach you the basic principles of the messages of God. You have become in need of milk, not solid food.
|
|
\v 13 For anyone who drinks milk is inexperienced with the message of righteousness, for he is still a baby.
|
|
\v 14 But solid food is for adults. These are those who because of their maturity have their understanding trained for distinguishing good from evil.
