Hebrews 5:4-10
Lexham English Bible

4 And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also was. 5 Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him,

“You are my Son, today I have begotten you,”[a]

6 just as also in another place he says,

“You are a priest forever[b] according to the order of Melchizedek,”[c]

7 who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard as a result of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered, 9 and being perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 5:4-10
New International Version

4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.(A)

5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory(B) of becoming a high priest.(C) But God said(D) to him,

“You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father.”[a](E)

6 And he says in another place,

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

7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions(H) with fervent cries and tears(I) to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard(J) because of his reverent submission.(K) 8 Son(L) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered(M) 9 and, once made perfect,(N) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest(O) in the order of Melchizedek.(P)
