Poslanica Hebrejima 5
Knijga O Kristu
5 Veliki svećenik je čovjek odabran da zastupa ljude u njihovu odnosu prema Bogu. Prinosi Bogu njihove darove i žrtve za grijehe.
2 Stoga što je čovjek, može suosjećati s ljudima koji griješe iz neznanja i sa zabludjelima jer je i sam podložan slabosti.
3 Zato mora prinositi žrtve i za svoje grijehe i za grijehe drugih.
4 Nitko ne može postati velikim svećenikom prisvajajući sebi tu čast. Na to ga mora pozvati Bog, baš kao što je pozvao i Arona.
5 Tako ni Krist nije sam sebi dodijelio tu čast da bude Velikim svećenikom. Postavio ga je Bog koji je rekao:
'Ti si moj Sin,
danas sam ti postao Ocem.'[a]
6 Drugom mu je prilikom Bog rekao:
'Ti si svećenik zauvijek i
po tome sličan Melkisedeku.'[b]
7 Dok je Isus živio na zemlji, sa silnim je vapajima i suzama upućivao molitve Bogu, koji ga je mogao izbaviti od smrti. Bog ga je uslišio zbog njegova strahopoštovanja.
8 Iako je bio Božji Sin, Isus se kroz patnju naučio poslušnosti.
9 Postignuvši savršenstvo, postao je darovateljem vječnoga spasenja svima koji ga slušaju.
10 I Bog ga je postavio da bude Velikim svećenikom poput Melkisedeka.
Poziv na duhovni rast
11 O tomu vam imam još mnogo toga reći, ali teško mi je to riječima protumačiti jer slabo slušate.
12 Dugo ste već kršćani i morali biste već poučavati druge. Umjesto toga, trebate nekoga da vas ponovno pouči temeljnim stvarima koje početnik mora naučiti o Svetome pismu. Potrebno vam je mlijeko, a ne kruta hrana.
13 Tko je još na mlijeku, nije napredovao u učenju o pravednosti jer je još dojenče.
14 A kruta je hrana za zrele, za one koji su iskustvom izvježbali ćutila za razlikovanje dobra od zla te čine dobro.

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.

Hebrews 5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Every high priest chosen from among mortals is put in charge of things pertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness,(A) 3 and because of this he must offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. 4 And one does not presume to take this honor but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was.(B)
5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest but was appointed by[a] the one who said to him,
“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you”;(C)
6 as he says also in another place,
“You are a priest forever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.”(D)
7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus[b] offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.(E) 8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered,(F) 9 and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,(G) 10 having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Warning against Falling Away
11 About this[c] we have much to say that is hard to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic elements of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,(H) 13 for everyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is unskilled in the word of righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.(I)
