¹For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men concerning matters pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins, ²being able to bear to some degree with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is beset by weakness, ³and on account of this, just as he needs to make offering for sins on behalf of the people, so also he needs to on behalf of himself. ⁴And it is not to oneself that anyone takes the honour, but he is called by God, as Aaron was as well. ⁵So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but it happened by him who said to him, ⁶As he also says in another place, ⁷And in the days of his flesh he made supplications and entreaties with loud cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his devoutness, ⁸and although he was a son, he learned obedience through the things he suffered, ⁹and when he had come to completion, he became the source of age-abiding salvation to all those who obey him, ¹⁰and he was designated by God to be the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, ¹¹concerning whom we have many a word to say, although it is hard to get the meaning across, since you have become dull of hearing. ¹²For indeed, although you should be teachers by this time, you again need someone to teach you what the basics of the starting point of the oracles of God are, and you have come to need milk, and not solid food. ¹³For everyone who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant, ¹⁴but solid food is appropriate for those who are complete, who have senses which have been exercised through practice, leading to discernment of both good and evil.
