• Heb 5:1-9 : 1 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness. 3 Because of this, he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for the sins of the people. 4 And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. 5 In the same way, Christ did not glorify Himself to become high priest, but was appointed by the One who said to Him, 'You are My Son; today I have begotten You.' 6 As He also says in another place, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.' 7 During His earthly life, He offered prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverent submission. 8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience through what He suffered. 9 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. 10 He was designated by God as a high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
