Hebrews Chapter 5 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ For every high priest taken from among men [1†]is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

² He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to [2†]weakness.

³ Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for [3†]himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

⁴ And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as [4†]Aaron was.

⁵ [5†]So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: [6†]“You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.”

⁶ As He also says in another place: [7†]“You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek”;

⁷ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had [8†]offered up prayers and supplications, [9†]with vehement cries and tears to Him [10†]who was able to save Him from death, and was heard [11†]because of His godly fear,

⁸ though He was a Son, yet He learned [12†]obedience by the things which He suffered.

⁹ And [13†]having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

¹⁰ called by God as High Priest [14†]“according to the order of Melchizedek,”

¹¹ of whom [15†]we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become [16†]dull of hearing.

¹² For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need [17†]milk and not solid food.

¹³ For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is [18†]a babe.

¹⁴ But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised [19†]to discern both good and evil.
