Hebraeer 5
Hoffnung für Alle
Jesus ist der einzig wahre Hohepriester (Kapitel 5–7)
5 Jeder Mensch, der zum Hohenpriester ernannt wird, ist zum Dienst für Gott eingesetzt: Stellvertretend für seine Mitmenschen muss er Gott Gaben und Opfer darbringen, um die Schuld zu sühnen. 2 Und weil er selbst ein Mensch ist mit all seinen Schwächen, kann er die Menschen verstehen, die unwissend sind und Irrwege gehen. 3 Doch gerade deshalb muss er nicht nur für die Sünden anderer opfern, sondern auch für seine eigenen. 4 Niemand kann sich selbst zum Hohenpriester ernennen. Gott beruft in diese Aufgabe, so wie er es mit Aaron getan hat. 5 Auch Christus hat sich nicht die Würde des Hohenpriesters angemaßt. In diese Aufgabe hat Gott ihn berufen, als er zu ihm sprach: »Du bist mein Sohn, heute bin ich dein Vater geworden.«[a] 6 Oder wie Gott an anderer Stelle sagt: »In alle Ewigkeit sollst du ein Priester sein, so wie es Melchisedek war.«[b] 7 Als Jesus unter uns Menschen lebte, schrie er unter Tränen zu Gott, der ihn allein vom Tod retten konnte. Und Gott erhörte sein Gebet, weil Jesus den Vater ehrte und ihm gehorsam war. 8 Dennoch musste auch Jesus, der Sohn Gottes, durch sein Leiden Gehorsam lernen. 9 Als er darin vollendet war, ist er für alle, die ihm gehorsam sind, zum Retter und Erlöser geworden. 10 Gott selbst hat ihn für uns zum Hohenpriester eingesetzt, so wie Melchisedek.
Werdet endlich im Glauben erwachsen!
11 Darüber hätten wir euch noch sehr viel mehr zu sagen. Aber weil ihr so wenig hinhört, ist es schwer, euch etwas zu erklären. 12 Eigentlich müsstet ihr es in eurem Glauben schon zum Meister gebracht haben und andere unterweisen. Tatsächlich aber seid ihr erst wie Lehrlinge, denen man die allerersten Grundlagen von Gottes Botschaft beibringen muss. Wie Säuglingen kann man euch nur Milch geben, weil ihr feste Nahrung noch nicht vertragt. 13 Wer noch Milch braucht, ist ein kleines Kind und versteht nicht, was die Erwachsenen reden[c]. 14 Ein Erwachsener kann feste Nahrung zu sich nehmen. Nur wer seine Urteilsfähigkeit geschult hat, der kann auch zwischen Gut und Böse unterscheiden.
Hebrews 5
New International Version
5 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God,(A) to offer gifts and sacrifices(B) for sins.(C) 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray,(D) since he himself is subject to weakness.(E) 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.(F) 4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.(G)
5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory(H) of becoming a high priest.(I) But God said(J) to him,
6 And he says in another place,
7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions(N) with fervent cries and tears(O) to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard(P) because of his reverent submission.(Q) 8 Son(R) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered(S) 9 and, once made perfect,(T) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest(U) in the order of Melchizedek.(V)
Warning Against Falling Away(W)
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths(X) of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!(Y) 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,(Z) is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature,(AA) who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.(AB)

Hebrews 5
New King James Version
Qualifications for High Priesthood
5 For every high priest taken from among men (A)is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can [a]have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to (B)weakness. 3 Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for (C)himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as (D)Aaron was.
A Priest Forever
5 (E)So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:
(F)“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.”
6 As He also says in another place:
(G)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;
7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had (H)offered up prayers and supplications, (I)with vehement cries and tears to Him (J)who was able to save Him from death, and was heard (K)because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned (L)obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And (M)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 10 called by God as High Priest (N)“according to the order of Melchizedek,” 11 of whom (O)we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become (P)dull of hearing.
Spiritual Immaturity
12 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 (Q)milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is (R)a babe. 14 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 (S)to discern both good and evil.
