凡从人间挑选的大祭司都是奉派替人办理属 神的事,要为罪献上礼物和祭物[a] 他能体谅无知和迷失的人,因为他自己也是被软弱所困, 因此他理当为百姓和自己的罪献祭。 没有人可擅自取得大祭司的尊荣,惟有蒙 神所选召的才可以,像亚伦一样。

同样,基督也没有自取作大祭司的荣耀,而是在乎向他说话的那一位,他说:

“你是我的儿子,
我今日生了你。”

就如又有一处说:

“你是照着麦基洗德的体系
永远为祭司。”

基督在他肉身的日子,曾大声哀哭,流泪祷告,恳求那能救他免死的 神,就因他的虔诚蒙了应允。 他虽然为儿子,还是因所受的苦难学了顺从。 既然他得以完全,就为凡顺从他的人成了永远得救的根源, 10 并蒙 神照着麦基洗德的体系宣称他为大祭司。

警戒叛道的人

11 论到这事,我们有好些话要说,可是很难解释,因为你们听不进去。 12 按时间说,你们早该作教师了,谁知还需要有人再将 神圣言基础的要道教导你们;你们成了那需要吃奶、不能吃干粮的人。 13 凡只能吃奶的,就不熟练仁义的道理,因为他是婴孩。 14 惟独长大成人的才能吃干粮,他们的心窍因练习而灵活,能分辨善恶了。

Qualifications for High Priesthood

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. He can [a]have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to (B)weakness. Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for (C)himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as (D)Aaron was.

A Priest Forever

(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.”

As He also says in another place:

(G)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;

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, though He was a Son, yet He learned (L)obedience by the things which He suffered. 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.

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:

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.

And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

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.

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

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;

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

12 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.

13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14 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.
