KJV
King James Version
Every high priest is
appointed
from among men to
represent
them
in matters
relating
to God, to
offer gifts and sacrifices for sins .
For
every high priest taken
from among men is
ordained
for
men
in things
pertaining
to God, that
he
may
offer both
gifts and sacrifices for sins :
He
is
able
to
deal
gently
with
those
who are
ignorant and
misguided
, since
he himself is beset
by
weakness
.
Who can
have
compassion
on
the
ignorant, and
on
them
that
are
out
of
the
way;
for
that
he himself also
is compassed
with
infirmity
.
That
is
why
he is
obligated
to
offer
sacrifices
for
his
own
sins
, as well
as
for the sins
of
the
people.
And
by
reason
hereof
he ought
, as for the people ,
so
also
for
himself,
to
offer
for
sins
.
No one
takes
this honor
upon
himself ;
he must
be
called by
God, just
as Aaron
was.
And
no man
taketh
this honour
unto
himself ,
but
he that
is
called of
God, as was Aaron
.
So also Christ did
not take
upon
Himself the
glory
of
becoming
a
high priest ,
but He was
called
by
the
One
who
said to
Him :
“You
are
My Son ;
today
I
have become
Your
Father
. ”
So also Christ glorified
not himself to
be
made
an
high priest ;
but he that
said unto
him ,
Thou
art
my Son ,
to
day
have I
begotten
thee
.
And
in another passage
God
says:
“You
are
a priest forever
in
the order of Melchizedek
. ”
As
he
saith
also
in another place,
Thou
art
a priest for
ever
after
the order of Melchisedec
.
During
the days of Jesus’
earthly
life
, He offered up prayers and petitions
with loud
cries
and tears to the
One
who
could
save Him from death, and He
was heard because
of
His
reverence.
Who
in
the days of his
flesh
, when
he had
offered up prayers and supplications
with strong
crying
and tears unto
him
that
was
able
to save him from death, and was heard in
that
he
feared;
Although
He was
a Son, He
learned obedience from
what
He suffered .
Though
he were
a Son, yet
learned he
obedience by
the
things
which
he suffered ;
And having
been
made perfect, He became the source
of eternal salvation to
all who
obey Him
And being
made perfect, he became the author
of eternal salvation unto
all them
that
obey him ;
and
was
designated
by
God as
high priest in
the order of Melchizedek
.
Called
of
God an
high priest after
the order of Melchisedec
.
We have much
to say about
this
, but
it
is
hard to explain
, because
you
are dull of hearing.
Of
whom
we have many
things
to say, and
hard to be
uttered
, seeing
ye
are dull of hearing.
Although
by
this
time you
ought to be teachers, you
need someone
to
reteach
you the basic
principles of God’s
word.
You
need milk, not solid
food!
For
when
for
the
time ye
ought to be teachers, ye
have
need that
one
teach
you again
which
be
the first
principles of the
oracles
of
God;
and
are
become
such
as
have
need of
milk, and
not of
strong
meat.
For everyone
who
lives
on
milk is still
an
infant,
inexperienced
in the message
of righteousness.
For every
one
that
useth
milk is unskilful
in the word
of righteousness :
for
he
is
a
babe
.
But solid
food
is
for
the
mature
, who by constant
use have trained
their senses to distinguish
good from
evil.
But strong
meat
belongeth
to
them
that
are
of
full
age
, even
those
who by reason
of
use have their senses exercised
to discern
both
good and
evil.
