Hebrews 5:4-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

⁵ So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

⁶ As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

⁸ And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:

⁹ And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.

¹⁰ Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.
