Hebrews 5:4-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 And one does not presume to take this honor but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was.(A)
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”;(B)
6 as he says also in another place,
“You are a priest forever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.”(C)
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.(D) 8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered,(E) 9 and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,(F) 10 having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 5:4-10
New Living Translation
4 And no one can become a high priest simply because he wants such an honor. He must be called by God for this work, just as Aaron was. 5 That is why Christ did not honor himself by assuming he could become High Priest. No, he was chosen by God, who said to him,
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.[a]”
6 And in another passage God said to him,
“You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”[b]
7 While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God. 8 Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered. 9 In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him. 10 And God designated him to be a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

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,
6 And he says in another place,
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)
