1 Every High Priest, taken from among men, is
appointed as a representative of his fellow-men in
their relations with God, to offer both gifts and
sacrifices in expiation of sins.
2 And he is able to sympathize
with the ignorant and deluded, since he is himself subject to
weakness,
3 and is therefore bound to offer sacrifices for sins, not
only for the People, but equally so for himself.
4 Nor does any
one take that high office upon himself, till he has been called
to do so by God, as Aaron was. ⪆⪆
5 In the same way, even
the Christ did not take the honour of the High Priesthood upon
himself, but he was appointed by him who said to him—
‘Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father’; note
6 and on another occasion also—
‘Thou art a priest for all time of the order of Melchizedek.’ note
7 Jesus, in the days of his earthly life, offered prayers and supplications,
with earnest cries and with tears, to him who was able
to save him from death; and he was heard because of his
-- --
devout submission.
8 Son though he was, he learnt obedience
from his sufferings;
9 and, being made perfect, he became to all
those who obey him the source of eternal Salvation, while note
10 God himself pronounced him a High Priest of the order of
Melchizedek.

11 Now on this subject I have much to say, but it
is difficult to explain it to you, because you have
shown yourselves so slow to learn.
12 For whereas,
considering the time that has elapsed, you
ought to be teaching others, you still need
some one to teach you the very alphabet of the Divine Revelation,
and need again to be fed with ‘milk’ instead of with
‘solid food.’
13 For every one who still has to take ‘milk’
knows nothing of the Teaching of Righteousness; he is a
mere infant.
14 But ‘solid food’ is for Christians of mature
faith—those whose faculties have been trained by practice to
distinguish right from wrong. ⪆⪆
