New King James Version

Hebrews 5

The Perfect High Priest

For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

Qualifications for High Priesthood

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

being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;

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

and, on account of this [infirmity], he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

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

And no one takes the honour to himself but [as] called by God, even as Aaron also.

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

Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, *Thou* art my Son, *I* have to-day begotten thee.

A Priest Forever

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

Even as also in another [place] he says, *Thou* [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

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

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety;)

who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation;

And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

addressed by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,”

Warning against Drifting Away

Concerning whom we have much to say, and hard to be interpreted in speaking [of it], since ye are become dull in hearing.

of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have again need that [one] should teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, [and] not of solid food.

Spiritual Immaturity

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

For every one that partakes of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;

For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

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