NASB Bible

Hebrews 5

The Perfect High Priest

1

For every high priest  ataken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in  bthings pertaining to God, in order to  coffer both gifts and sacrifices  dfor sins;

2

 1 ahe can deal gently with the  bignorant and  cmisguided, since he himself also is  2 dbeset with weakness;

3

and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices  afor sins,  bas for the people, so also for himself.

4

And  ano one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even  bas Aaron was.

5

So also Christ  adid not glorify Himself so as to become a  bhigh priest, but He who  csaid to Him, " dYOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";

6

just as He says also in another passage,aYOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO  bTHE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

7

 1In the days of His flesh,  2 aHe offered up both prayers and supplications with  bloud crying and tears to the One  cable to save Him  3from death, and He  4was heard because of His  dpiety.

8

Although He was  aa Son, He learned  bobedience from the things which He suffered.

9

And having been made  aperfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

10

being designated by God as  aa high priest according to  bthe order of Melchizedek.

11

Concerning  1him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

12

For though  1by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you  athe  2 belementary principles of the  coracles of God, and you have come to need  dmilk and not solid food.

13

For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an  ainfant.

14

But solid food is for  athe mature, who because of practice have their senses  btrained to  cdiscern good and evil.
