Hebrews 5:4-10
World English Bible
4 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was. 5 So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him,
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your father.”
6 As he says also in another place,
“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered. 9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, 10 named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 5:4-10
American Standard Version
4 And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron. 5 So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him,
[a]Thou art my Son,
This day have I begotten thee:
6 as he saith also in another place,
[b]Thou art a priest for ever
After the order of Melchizedek.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him [c]from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the [d]author of eternal salvation; 10 named of God a high priest after 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,
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)
