And (A)no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just (B)as Aaron also was.

So too Christ (C)did not glorify Himself in becoming a (D)high priest, but it was He who (E)said to Him,

(F)You are My Son,
Today I have fathered You”;

(G)You are a priest forever
According to (H)the order of Melchizedek.”

And he says in another place,

“You are a priest forever,
    in the order of Melchizedek.(F)[b](G)
