\v 1 For every high priest, chosen from among people, is appointed to act on on the behalf of people in the things concerning 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 obligated to present sacrifices for his own sins, just as he does for the people's sins.
\v 7 During the time of his flesh, he offered up prayers and requests. He cried out with tears to God, the one able to save him from death. Because of his reverence for God, he was heard.
\v 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, it is still necessary that someone teach you the basic principles of God's words. You have become in need of milk, not solid food.
\v 14 But solid food is for full-grown adults, the ones who because of their experience in distinguishing right from wrong have been trained to discern both good and evil.
